Glenn, Fido support is integrated into Dialog in that it will accept net and echo mail into its message areas (keeps msg points properly updated for users, etc.). 3rd party programs are needed to converse with other Fido boards (TrapDoor, etc.). Dialog comes with script files prepared to interface with such programs. Again, it should be pointed out that Dialog is not one large BBS program (like BBS-PC!), but rather more like an operating system. This allows for the ease of running script and other types of files. How hard is it? I haven't done it yet, but I'll let you know what I get that part of the system up and running. You can call the main Dialog BBS at (306) 249-2352. Tom Conroy who is one of the Dialog authors runs this system. Regards, Allen
