    Greetings. I'm sure some of you are sick of me already. :-)

    I've installed WWIV 5.8 and added Fidonet and Fsxnet with little problem. What I really wanted was WWIVNet on this board. I can't seem to pull this feat off. Emails amd requests sent via email and another connected bbs have failed.

    Is there another way to get connected or should I give up? I know I'm decades late joining this but HEY, better late than never (especially 'cause I'm late).

    Any help would be appreciated. I do like the look of WWIV.

    Sorry I can't offer any help, but I am curious what you like about the look of WWIV?

    Such an interesting question. Off the top of my head, the following,

    1. Simple and uncluttered
    2. A nice collection of various bracket menu choices to use
    3 Cute little animated '... saving' after message entering
    4 Very similiar to the ones in a stock Synchronet install
    5 The ability to set a scroll speed for effect. 9600 is nice.

    My ride cymbal is larger than yours,

    <grin>

    Cool. 9600 is a lot slower than you remember, right? I'll have to make a point to check out a system running the latest and greatest WWIV some time soon.

    Whatcha got? I never owned a ride cymbal bigger than 22" myself.

    Now now my friend. It's brand new and right now I'm using it as my personal little point, but if you insist,
