Hello, Rob.
I set a sub-board to work with Fileserver and works fine.
Fileserver
send and post messages in area from/to subscribed emails.
But the sub-board is a Fido echo and the messages posted by Listserver
are not exported to Fidonet. SBBSECHO ignored them.
I need a help. :-)
Have you set "Gate between networks" to "Yes" in the configuration for
the sub? You need this for mailing list posts to appear in echomail
and vice versa. I have a number of echoes linked to mailing lists
hosted by Synchronet, and it all works very well, once setup correctly.

One time I looked at some car rental companies' web sites to see if I could rent a car with a manual, but it seems they all rent only automatics, no manuals..
The last time I knew of a rental agency renting manuals was Thrifty who rented VW beetles and micro-bus back in the 70's.

The Plymouth still couldn't catch up to the other car so the R Button
(for RACE) was pressed to get up more speed.
After pressing the R Button they didn't know what had
happened..........
Might be a great theft-proof feature - doubt many thieves these days could drive a stick.

6000 rpm before realizing. I like bump shifting. but that is just stupid. either make it fully manual or fully automatic. I like both, but enjoy automatic more and more, the older I get.
The only reason I can think of when I'd want to use the up/down shifting on an automatic is if I were going downhill and wanted to downshift for engine braking rather than using up my brakes going downhill.

Hertz found out the hard way when it started renting Shelby GT-350's in 1966. Guys would rent them for the weekend, go to the track and have a blast or, switch out the Hi-proformance 289 for a stock 289 or even a
260.

Also, perhaps in the snow when you may need to downshift to help go
slower without using the brakes so you don't slide in the snow.

I traveled down to San Diego on business a few years back, and rented a Dodge Neon. I took my manager and his analyst out to lunch, we got in the car, and my manager said "Oh. I raced this car last weekend...". They'd rent cars, take out what they could, race them, then put them back together on Sunday night.

if they're matching.

I never drove a 4X4, the trucks I drove at work had the 3 speed Shift Lever on the floor, and they all were designed for Rear Wheel Drive.
I'm not taling about 4 wheel drives... this was the transmission with a
4 step overdrive. Each main gear had 4 overdrive steps. Worked out to
a total of 16 speeds. It was fun but you had to be quick if you were pulling a loaded trailer.

I'm not sure if this is the first Gol, but I saw a lot of these in

I've read that those were related to the VW Fox, which had been sold
in the US. I had a 1988 VW Fox wagon for a couple years.. I thought it was a good car.
