    b<> This sorta answers your question.  Considering a ftp server for files   
    b<> indicates that they are going telnet.  Anyhow, don't know if you saw   
    b<> it, but I gave them a link to protocals for renegade and it is the   
    b<> fdsz.exe renamed to dsz.com .   
      
   Yeap... caught that line, but the one earlier "I want to do this so I   
   can preserve as much of the old bbs experience as possible." could have   
   meant he was doing dialup... Anyway, I read your message after I had   
   already posted mine, so... It flew... Its basically correct.  So, I   
   wasn't treading on toes... just answered the man.  ;)
