There is one thing FIDO doesn't have that I'd like: the ability to run a
second program from inside itself. I have a couple of programs I'd like to
be able to call remotely & I'd like a bit more protection than CTTY COM1:
and a bit less money than UULINK. Speaking of which: I'd think UULINK would
make a real hot BBS program if there were a restricted shell type version.
