With time that will change. Rome was not built in a day. My goals are
to make configuration and installs ALOT more user friendly, but my family
comes first, and to keep me from burning out, I have to set a certain
pace.

I never said it wasn't.

I don't know what you mean by "system" benefits. My system (as could many
other JNOS systems) requires no "system" benefits of the Winlink system.

I don't understand your argument here, perhaps I'm misunderstanding it,
but I think my system going direct to my ISP is more reliable for mail
delivery, then going through the WL2K system to get to their ISP to do
the same thing. I don't get it. I have no problem delivering mail from
my system, never had. If I want to send to a WinLink user, I know their
email address already. The traffic has to go via Internet anyways, so
whether it's direct mail or through a telpac connection, it doesn't
matter anymore.

You're doing a good job selling it :-)
