    I reget to advise you that I have given up on setting up a formal BBS
    and have become a point from a Toronto BBS.

    No need to regret that. A point is as good a place to start as any and it will give you access to a lot of support areas should you find them of interest.

    There are many of us around DOVE-Net and Fidonet (othernets too) who would be glad to help you setup a BBS or point should the need arise.

    I couldn't even guess at the number of people who have pointed me in the right direction over the years so I try to return the favour.. :)

    ... Is fire supposed to shoot out of it like that!?

    Thanks Al,

    Right now I am battling with winpoint.

    The screen is reeeeeeeeeeeeallly skinny in the editor.

    I am going to look at the config.

    Cheers,

    It shouldn't be. I haven't used Winpoint in a decade or so but when I did it was a nice full screen interface and fairly easy to use.

    Another choice for a point setup is Aftershock (it'll cost you a dollar) or hotdoged. Those are android apps that'll work on an android device like a phone or tablet.

    I haven't used hotdoged in a while but I think it's free. I use Aftershock for my own point when I'm on the road. It works well and setup is quick and easy.

    ... Do you like me for my brain, or my BAUD?
