Rob,
You make my point for me. Not just in this post, but in the way you've built a "better mousetrap". You literally demonstrate by what you said here, and by the software you've written, that the FTN model is simply a choice. The QWK Networking model you've built into SBBS with it's auto-routing and other features proves this point probably more eloquently than anything I could say!
All the best
JD
