    From Mike Dippel@1:135/393 to All on Mon Mar 28 14:51:50 2022
    I would like to share a network with my other BBS and was wondering if I could use qwkpoll to do this.

    I was hoping to set up the various conference areas on the other system and use qwk to transfer the messages.

    I assume that qwkpoll all will download packets and automatically import messages, no matter which network it connects to?

    There are many ways you can share message bases between two different BBS softwares, if that is what you are trying to do.

    It would depend on what capabilities the other software has available but you can set it up as a QWK network with FTP, a FidoNet network with BINKP, or a FidoNet network with direct directory tossing.

    ... I'm not a complete idiot... Several parts are missing!
