yup... i wasn't ever aware of that problem, though... my dealings with WWIVTOSS were back in the '90s when Planet Connect was all the rage... that's what this node was trying to toss with WWIVTOSS and since it was a subscription service, it was literally costing him $$$ each day that it didn't work...

MH> It can process PKT files or MSG files.
it wasn't able to do PKTs back when i was exposed to it... that it can now is a good thing :)

spawn? as in spawning another task to do the actual writing to the message base? :/
