I do have a local network, but never am in a particular vDos
application for more than a few minutes.  I guess that is why I have never
seen it.  I use it to access my recipe data base (MealMaster) and a
couple of other small things.  My BBS runs external to any vDos or 4NT
application.  I do my mail reading in an offline reader (BlueWave)
running in a XP Virtual window.
