Howdy,

 de>> Not sure if it is permitted, or permission needs to be asked, but I have that available as well already ;) 
 BR> From the "What is Dove-NET document:"

So this was recently discussed on Dove-NET and Rob is OK with folks gating it on the premise that the gating doesnt impact the network or the ability to identify where a problem exists (if one does). (If I'm paraphrasing correctly.)

Which if you think about it, using FTN is really no different to a user on a BBS, or using QWK with a BBS - it really is just another medium to get/receive messages. (And these days, we want to encourage folks to this hobby, not turn them away from it.)

There are a couple "Point clients" which use FTN, so folks could use that software with Dove as well (via a particpating BBS if not via Vert directly).
