Yah found it after I said that, looked at the files.bbs again.  FOund it, but 
got the bugs worked out of sqafix, and so far I'm happy. I'm watching it, it's 
supposed to do some neat things, such as:

A point requests an area, would be made passthrough.
THe echo has no traffic in x days.

IT automagically sends an unlink request to my uplink, notifies the point a 
couple days ahead of time that it's going to do this.

MIght be traveling for business, and need the bbs to be as automatic as 
possible, and plain ascii config files can be updated from remote with no 
hassle, unlike pulldown menu driven sw that has to be changed on site. YEs I 
have security in place so that just not everybody can send me config files <g>. 
My personal point can send config files to the system, but when it breaks open 
the archive it looks for a certain filename, and then searches for pwd in that 
file.  IF not found, no config files are changed. Think I'll stick with the 
devil I've come to know, now that I've discovered through some playing what I 
needed to do differently.


Gradually sneaker netting stuff from that cd to my maximus downloadable files. 
Put the cd in the wife's machine, have her open up a dos box and let me go to 
work filling floppies <g>.


Regards,
           Richard
