-> Do you have any internet access directly from your PC?  There are several
-> alternative ways to reading echomail that would make the experience very
easy
-> and more convenient.

I do have dial up and have TelNeted to several BBS's. But I hardly
concider the "Experience Easy and Convient". For those stuck with Dial
up Lines it is Madeningly SLOW. Takes froever to bring the messages up
Very Slow in sending messages, Slow in jumping from message to
message(Next/Previous). JUST Unsatisfactorly compaired to a LIVE 28.8
connect directly with the BBS.

 And as a side note on my Perfering Live BBSing it is far more of a
"Brain Chalendge" then using an Offline Reader. ALL my comments have to
be off the top of my Head.
Whick Most importantly gives the rest of you and indication of Who the
REAL TOM is.  
And at my age if I come off bad or somethiong I don't really care. I am
here to Learn and Help. But if I cannot keep my Brain active so I can
rember what I have learned what have I gained?

-> [1] Have you considered using Fido-Look?  It's a wonderful accessory to
-> OutlookExpress that imports/scans echomail into newsgroup-like folders via
it's
-> "FTNstub" feature.  All you need to do is hook up to a BBS as a point.  Then
-> add a program such as BINKDWIN.exe to move your packets back and forth (the
-> setup in FidoLook is nearly automatic)  Read about FidoLook here:
-> http://www.fidolook.org/

I have an Offline reader called "Offline" that handles QWK packets. But
choose NOT to use it for the above stated reasons..

Thanks for the input though.
