    Hi Wilbert,
    I had precisely the same dream. Unfortunately, you can just about forget
    IP/PACTOR, it's just too slow to be very useful.

    KISS isn't inferior to hostmode at all, just designed for a completely
    different purpose. They're both pretty weak where it matters.

    As described in another message, I figured the best approach to integration was
    to build an automated protocol gateway. I've pretty much achieved that with
    Rose. Rose was good choice for a couple of reasons that I'm feeling too lazy to
    discuss at present, but I'll get into at some point if you're interested.

    regards
    Terry
