Rob, 
You make my point for me. Not just in this post, but in the way you've built a 
"better mousetrap".  You literally demonstrate by what you said here, and by 
the software you've written, that the FTN model is simply a choice. The QWK 
Networking model you've built into SBBS with it's auto-routing and other 
features proves this point probably more eloquently than anything I could say!


All the best
