    okay, right now i only have v1.07f and i can't get NNTP to work at ALL..
is this right? or has it only been added to v1.08?
odes
    what's your telnet address? is it snoval.com? or do you have a different
one?
CBOARD
    ya', i know.. i used to run pc/board for a little while.. i loved how it
worked with os/2.. i like Lora's PM Mailer interface, but i don't like the
program itself.. and i hate max's full screen editor.. it's just annoying..
but i am enjoying adeptx..
    right now i'm on the renegade/2 beta team.. so i'm really waiting for
hat
to come out, and i run binkley/2 and have everything else i can running under
os/2.. i like it a lot..
    i TOTALLY agree..
    i can get this from snoval.com right? and i run os/2 warp with fp26 just
fine as well.. what kind of a system are you running it on though? processor,
ram?
    right now i use binkley and do emsi mail transfers over the net.. that's
my fancy :) does adept have an automated ftp poll utility?
    it's becoming more and more appealing to me, that's for sure...
