nope... FD has never allowed external protocol drivers because the protocols 
used by FTN mailers are tweaked in certain ways to handle certain specifics of 
FTN mailer transfer methods... ZedZap being a perfect example... zmodem doesn't 
have variable sized "blocks" over 1024 bytes whereas ZedZap does...

 PK> Maybe versipon 3.0 will offer external protocols along with binkp 
 PK> protocol...

versipon? version? i think "version" now that i read it a few more times... at 
first i thought it was some new program or tool :lol:

as for FD3, i don't know... kinda doubtful but until it comes out of 
development, whenever that is, IF ever, we'll never know ;)
