• Storms, Downtime, Etc.

    From Daryl Stout@432:1/101 to All on Tue Jan 10 22:51:00 2017
    * Originally in: System News

    An unsettled and stormy weather pattern is forecast across the
    Arklatex, Arklamiss, and MidSouth for the rest of this week, and
    into early next week. While it's possible that portions of north
    Arkansas might have to deal with an ice storm (depending on how
    far south the cold front sags into Arkansas), of more concern is
    the threat of flooding rain and thunderstorms...some of which may
    be severe.

    As of now, it appears that the heaviest rain will be across
    northwest Arkansas...but, there are good chances of thunderstorms
    from late Thursday through next Tuesday. And, with a threat of
    storms, the BBS will likely be offline more than online, to protect
    from lightning damage. Sorry for any inconvenience.

    On another note, I may have solved the problem of the QWK
    Networking not importing certain areas...especially if I get
    more than one network from the same hub.

    I had to set up a new "dummy account" for the VQNet Echoes,
    even though I am getting them from the same hub for the GatorNet
    echoes (Kris Jones). In doing that, and separating the conference
    numbers, it appears that the system WILL import other networks.

    So, instead of having to set up new QWK Networking connects
    with other BBS's, I may be able to grab them off of one system.

    Unfortunately, FIDONet does NOT allow QWK Networking of its
    message areas...and even though the BBS is available for FIDONet
    Netmail, the only echo that the BBS has is for my use...the
    FIDONet Region 19 Sysops echo, as the BBS is a "regional
    independent".

    I had to switch to QWK Networking, due to issues with netmail
    routing and MSGID data with VADV32's FIDONet tosser.

    Sorry for any inconvenience...leave Feedback to Sysop with
    any questions, comments, or glitch reports.

    Good luck, hope to see you back soon. :)

    Interesting problem, glad to hear you have it sorted.

    Daryl,
    Did you get that sorted out? I noticed you appear to be getting a couple of networks from me that way now.
