- But then it won't take long to exceed the limited number of messages
- TBBS allows online if you are importing usenet articles -- do you
- bring in all 2000+ usenet newsgroups into TBBS?
-
- The ideal way to do this with TBBS would be to have support for NNTP
- in TBBS and retrieve the articles via a NNTP server. But with TBBS
- and it's lack of support for external (non eSoft, non TDBS) applications,
- this will never happen.
