    Hi,
    In the vert.syncro.net QWK section there is also FidoNet and fsxNet Message Groups, are these just for the vertrauen BBS or can i add these sub-boards to my BBS without needing to join those networks in a similar method to the DOVE-Net boards?
    If its possible how do I get the QWK Conf # for them, thanks

    No, I don't feed FidoNet and fsxNet via QWKnet - that would be "gatewaying" or "gating" the network traffic to those other nets and I'm not authorized to do that.

    As digital man pointed out, those are not networks he can feed to you via
    QWK. To my knowledge, FidoNet does not offer QWK feeds to anyone.
    However, I *think* you can join fsxNet as a QWK node.

    I'm happy to stick with DOVE-Net for now, I might consider joining one day.

    Thanks!
