Hi all,

OK, this will be a horrifically newbie question but... Have been Googling around on this and failing.

How do I _make_ FREQ requests to a BBS? I see numerous adverts offering it.

The best method I found on the Synchronet Wiki was to manually craft .REQ and .FLO files. Is that it? Or is there a more straightforward way?

Thanks all,

Mewcenary.
