      snoval.com is the Main AdeptNet Mail HUB (via Internet).

          2. (VAC Compiled) 'beta' Upgrade ADEPT 1.07g........

                                          (best bet to stop here)
Used along with 'FileED, GoldEd and AdeptHatch' you can't beat it,
for a pure OS/2 product ----- AT THIS TIME.....!
unOffical 3. (VAC Compiled) Last 'alpha' Upgrade Adept 1.08a26, however
             a 'WARNING', it was quickly compiled with bug fixes and
             author has disappeared, due to work requirements, several
             weeks ago!!!!!  We ass-u-me he'll reappear some day!?!?
For those having trouble with 108a26, I suggest you RECOPY 108a25.EXE
back over a26.  All the VACs are interchangeable.  Stay with VAC4 .DLLs
NO MATTER which way U go......
The best of the 'alphas' appear to be '1.08a25', but you better read
the .txt files good.....  major 'Files Area' change.  I suggest you
get 1.07g (VAC4) running good 1st, then venture on to 108a25.
The Lastest GATEKEEPER is GKPR 1.79, and it appears to process mail
pretty darn good.  Some additional Areafix stuff was added.
   At this time, ADEPT XBBS is the BEST 'PURE PM BASED' BBS out there!
For my needs I have NO problems running it UN-ATTENDED.
   Your welcome to join the ADEPT Freebirds on "IRC #adept', nearly
24 hours a day.
   I might add 'OS/2 LORA ver.2.99.29' is catching up pretty fast
with Bug Fixes coming out on the 1st of every month.
  It's looking pretty good.  Several things still ARE NOT active, YET!
  No 'User CHAT' or a CallBack Verifier.  SQUISH appears to work well
with it.  No 3rd party support Files!  What u see, is what u get!
  I could bring it on Line (If I I had more than one line).
  It's just NOT ready for the Big Time, thats why its still in "BETA".

  There's a File, '3PARTY.ZIP' (that might be of use at 1.07f)
