As always Nabil, you don't know anything of the Not server.. the Not 
server is the bridging point for the office computers to TFN main 
servers.. also.. There is no servers with the address of csas.torfree.net 
or gts.torfree.net in the office... if you would use your brain for once 
in your life you'd know that these Sister servers are all in your head!! 
yes there are two other servers in the office but not called gts or 
csas.. why would their be a server called csas in the office when it's 
called Csas.. wouldn't that server be in Bruce Beckers house??? 

and as to your i-comm crap.. I've got both the server and client programs 
running on my personal BBS and guess what.. IT Sucks.. it took me from 
4pm yesturday afterrnoon to set it up (server end) and 1 hour setting up 
the client end.. now I can't speak for the general membership but I 
wouldn't want to waste my time setting up another program when I already 
have one that's setup and runs perfect..
