Write your reply.

assistant: Mike,
Sorry about that. I will claim one newbie point for that one. ;)
One of the poor FIDO compatibility issues with Bulletron is that
it's not all that easy to change the name. You can't just say an
individual message is from "Ron Schnatzmeyer". You have to set it
as a global name all over. Which I usually don't do. Anyway, I
hope THIS message has it right. I cannot get rid of the
SYSOP though, short of editting the message packet with a text
editor.
Well you might be right about that, I dunno. I only have 8 lines,
but I haven't really noticed that problem. In addition to Bulletron,
I have TCP/IP through the Warp IAK running for Internet access to
Bulletron and the XENIA/2 mailer. I haven't seen, a real performance
degredation when several people run doors..but then I've only
seen 2 or 3 going at one time anyway. There probably would be
problems if I had more lines. I'm only running a 486/DX 33.
I am unfamiliar with DLX.
Bulletron used to be Oracomm.
Regards,
   Ron.

other specific application?)
        That's what I thought...
