  • Gating DOVE to FTN

    From MIKE POWELL@VERT/CAPTEST to POINDEXTER FORTRAN on Fri Apr 24 22:21:00 2026
    Saw him doing some testing on Fidonet, so maybe he figured it out already.

    I don't think I have exactly just yet. I need to add the DOVE Sysop echo and stop testing in this one! ;)

    I'm curious as to why you'd want to gate DOVEnet to FTN? I thought most
    BBS packages support QWK networking.

    The main reason is so that FTN point nodes can participate.

    That said, I only have one of those connecting currently but have at least 2 BBSes that pick it up via FTN. You would have to ask them why they'd want
    it that way. :D
