Yes. You need a fairly recent beta build of VADV32 as well as the latest
version of Netfoss for it to work. I've been waiting for the next release of
Netfoss before I officially released this version.

You can get the latest VADV32 build from
ftp://ftp.at2k.org/testversions/vadv32.exe

Get the latest Netfoss if needed from www.netfoss.com

Follow these steps:
1. Shut down vadv32 if it is running.
2. Download the new version of vadv32.exe.
3. Overwrite your existing copy of vadv32.exe.
4. Copy the new vadv32.exe to your second BBS folder.
5. Execute vadv32.exe for your second BBS.
6. Click Settings->VADV32 Configuration.
7. Under General, change the telnet port to something different than your first
BBS (set to 24 for example).
8. Under Miscellaneous, set the VADV Instance to 1. (You can have up to 10
separate boards)
9. Click Ok.
10. Exit VADV32.

The basic multi-instance configuration is done. You can now load VADV32 for
both BBS's. Now I haven't put up the beta builds for the other programs yet.
Each of my applications (VSMTP32, VIRC32, VCLEANDB, etc) will need to be
updated or they will only see the primary BBS. I'll try to get them ready so
you can test them.

Steve
