I don't think that's the issue paulie420 is dealing with. He already has a
'fast login' option in his BBS, but it currently takes place *after* the
Invisible? prompt, and after the caller log is updated.

However, this begs the question of when, specifically, the caller log is
updated...if its immediately after the Invisible? input, perhaps one could make
an adjustment to that portion of the login procedure, so that one is not
invisible, but bypassing the caller log anyway? 

Something to think about...
