Course, this being Os/2, you can also log onto the BBS via a named pipe with any com program you would care to use, and do all the downloading ya want to. This is still my preferred method of checking out things when i change some of the BBS setups and such. Gives ya a real picture just like your users are going to get when they call the board.
