SBBS has a remotely accessible POP/SMTP mail server? and it can collect mail from other SMTP/POP servers to import into it's database? Does this mean sbbs could be used as a normal mail server and a bbs? I like the multiline multi user chat. and the fact you only have to run one copy to do it. Goodbye to QEMM and DESKVIEW! looks like I'll be trashing my old proboard system. I'm very impressed with what qbbs can do now. pity they don't output the menus etc in html format. but telnet is built into windows, so it's all easy to use, just not so pretty.... -- EnjoyDialup - You know you want to... mail=valid required when replying .
