Hello Michel,

A thousand pardons for not getting your name right, also, I've never done a 
whole lot of posting on fidonet or echomail as many have over the years, so if 
I miss things that should have been obvious or unknowlingly breach some sort of 
'echo etiquette' that I am unaware of, I ask a little tolerance and leeway from 
those more experienced than I, it seems that frequently in the past I'll post a 
comment and the next thing I know I've got people jumping all over me for 
saying the wrong thing in the wrong post at the wrong time or something or 
another, some of it even seems a bit snippy and mean spirited at times, and I 
don't see how that benefits anybody, after all, if there is something that I, 
or someone else doesn't know, should we be afraid to ask a question?

At any rate, YES, trying to figure out a way to dial up my ISP using a DOS ppp 
connection and telnetting into a BBS and being able to go to the files area and 
download using zmodem is something I've been intrigued about for a long time. I 
really have to struggle sometimes to get DOS ppp connections up and running, 
but I can generally follow the logic of what has to be done and make it work.

I've made a note of your website, and as soon as I finish this posting I'll 
take a look at what you've got. I'm actually using BANANACOM right now, dialed 
into the last remaining BBS here in the Houston area.

regards,
Matt
