You need to edit the network.lst entry and tell it real names only. You can do
this in VADV32 by doing this:

1. Click Tools->Network Tools->Edit Available Networks
2. Choose the network.
3. Check the box for "Real Names Only".
4. Click OK.

You can also do it manually by editing networks.lst and change the last field
for the network from 0 to 1.

This applies only to Fido-Type networks.
