YEp, thinking about that too. FInding a compatible network
card though allowing me to keep my dos screen reader that I
like is the kicker, that is until I get a serial port speech box. THat one's
down the road, first I"ve got some audio
tech issues to grappe with in my remote audio truck then
we'll worry about network upgrades. tHIs economy going in
the tank has bit me in the nether regions real hard right
now.

Old habit from when I was busy southeast IOwa hub back in
the '90's. OF course I had a log of message headers, which
was all I needed. IN those days hard drive real estate was at a premium and
it's just a setting I enabled in my ocnfig
file because I always did.

I think Sean hit it for us. IF you compress your netmail
your route through a bbbs system it doesn't argue. <hmmmm>
At least, that's my preliminary diagnosis.
I"ll have to remember to switch things around in routing
control and send you a nm through her system just to test
drive it. YEt I hate to "fix" what ain't broke <g>.
Regards,
Richard
