- They do indeed. So can I run Waffle as a BBS and plug UFGate in to do my
- gating? Can I plug in FredMail (alone) and let IT do the gating for my
- Waffle bbs? And count on it not to crash? Are the docs to EITHER of these

- Ever notice how some messages seem to be made up of LONG lines instead of

- Amanda is currently the ONLY (and I MEAN ONLY) gating software designed
- to gate news between a Waffle site and a Fidonet site. The other two
- you mention are for connecting Fidonet sites to Usenet; any other use
- is a kludge or a hack, depending on how you look at it.
-
- Erin is the mail counterpart to Amanda; and both are designed to work with
- a Waffle *BBS*, not Waffle executables. Big difference.
