Are there any message bases out there you can link up to, so you get get active forums on your BBS? Like how Synchronet has DoveNET and so on and so forth.

Thanks,
Neal

There are a few worldlink forums, not many though. If you have a static IP, you can have Joe/CCS push feeds into your system. If you don't have a static ip, you can just use synchronet for your forums.

Ok, who is Joe/CCS and how can I get in contact with him?

You will need to contact Questman or Newport (tls.wetookyour.tv) for the updated dll for Worldlink, and worldlink will require WG 3.xx NT. (dont think the dos wg2 is finished)

Not many use the worldlink forums, but the inter bbs chat and pages are fun.

I try to use the sysop forums on worldlink, but I believe that the best way to handle the situation would be to have someone push feeds into the worldlink hub, as I've suggested before. This way, any one on a static or dynamic ip could read and write in newsgroups, etc through worldlink. I know that it can be done, because it's been done in the past.
