   So you got in running on you setup?  To my knowledge not many people   
   have gotten it running.  If you have then you are the first person   
   that's had no trouble. :)

   I'd like to keep adding features that work towards this goal.  I'll keep   
   everyone updated on major improvements. :)   
      
   As a current member of Fidonet, you don't want to go there.  The scary   
   politics are driving away a lot of the remaining sysops.  Also, the open   
   hostility towards internet only nodes is scary.   
      
   Starting our own FTN network that serves our needs wouldn't be bad though.
