Hello Michel,
A thousand pardons for not getting your name right, also, I've never done a
whole lot of posting on fidonet or echomail as many have over the years, so if
I miss things that should have been obvious or unknowlingly breach some sort of
'echo etiquette' that I am unaware of, I ask a little tolerance and leeway from
those more experienced than I, it seems that frequently in the past I'll post a
comment and the next thing I know I've got people jumping all over me for
saying the wrong thing in the wrong post at the wrong time or something or
another, some of it even seems a bit snippy and mean spirited at times, and I
don't see how that benefits anybody, after all, if there is something that I,
or someone else doesn't know, should we be afraid to ask a question?
At any rate, YES, trying to figure out a way to dial up my ISP using a DOS ppp
connection and telnetting into a BBS and being able to go to the files area and
download using zmodem is something I've been intrigued about for a long time. I
really have to struggle sometimes to get DOS ppp connections up and running,
but I can generally follow the logic of what has to be done and make it work.
I've made a note of your website, and as soon as I finish this posting I'll
take a look at what you've got. I'm actually using BANANACOM right now, dialed
into the last remaining BBS here in the Houston area.
regards,
Matt
