I do have a local network, but never am in a particular vDos
application for more than a few minutes. I guess that is why I have never
seen it. I use it to access my recipe data base (MealMaster) and a
couple of other small things. My BBS runs external to any vDos or 4NT
application. I do my mail reading in an offline reader (BlueWave)
running in a XP Virtual window.
