Yes, understood, and I'm trying to get it to do that.  Just to be sure 
of something - this [TAG] isn't something I have to set up (manually) 
once on your system before connecting from my BBS, right?  It's just 
something that should be included on the callout command line when a 
user connects to GoldMine from my BBS... is that correct?

Understood again, and I'm currently trying to get things straight with 
another SBBS user, hopefully figured out soon.

Thanks, and thank you for operating GoldMine Doors!
