CompuServe Messages

Dale, Thanks again for your input. It would seem i have found the BBS to settle down with right here in CI$ (actually, I d/l it from Software Distillery).. 'Proteus'. It's *extremely* flexible in all areas, including I/O (almost anticipating my every need!). I have already had great success logging in and using it via DNet, and concurrent operation with up/downloading is a snap.. I only had to write a small 6K terminal server for it (since STERM requires that window-size junk to connect). The only other obstacle may be in the user interface for file transfers, in which I want the BBS to initiate all transfers, but also want a decent status readout (bytes transferred, etc.) for the remote user, and Getfiles & Putfiles' servers operate invisibly.
