Should they be able to post, though?  In the test I tried, it used the QWK
accounts handle, which is <name> Bbs.  I know they need to be able to post
when uploading REP packets, and probably message the sysop, but should they be
able to post to public message areas when logged on via the terminal?

OK, thanks.  I will try that.
