I would realy like to hear from Neil too!
Id love to run his version of vfido, but it lost it with a y2k bug
not to mention roland programed around it, Ie. made the vme calls
explicit "vfido.exe" a vfido.bat no longer works then the command line
switches changed.

[my vme has had a hex editor change the "exe" to "bat"]

ok here is taurus page http://taurus.rinet.ru/ there are links to
its predisesers there radius argus(link was dead just now though) 
(I can pre configure a setup if needed)

If you want to try virtualnet we can work it out
there is an app at http://vtdl.net/ac_admin
Be warned there are files there that contain info on the other
three ways of getting vnet. via-  qwk(syncronet bbs) wwiv(wwiv bbs)[Eli]
ftn(any fido type bbs).
we still use an areacode based nodenumber for ease.
what i did was create a dir "vnet" and put the arealist.* and bbslist.*
files in it. then defined that dir as the virtualnet net directory in
vconfig. then a vnet /a networkid=1 to compile the new bbslist files.
oh the area and bbslist files are in the above ac_admin dir too.
the mkvpkt2.bat file is the batch i use to bundle up the outbound
pkt's, it needs costomizeing to fit your setup though.
