    I'm only beginning to wrap my mind around the concept, but that sound nifty. I'm not sure how many use cases it'd be good for, but some of well, it'd be downright amazing.

    My original idea came, when i was looking for an old DOS file and
    couldn't find it. I thought that it would be somewhere in a BBS, but to look for it, you should have to connect to each one of them.

    So with this script you can make the query in one BBS and search all the connected BBS ;) It's not something that anyone will use everyday, but it's a proof o concept that BBSes can interconnect in many ways. :)

    You know what would also be interesting is using P2P VPN connections between BBSs to share resources, and files and such. it would be kind of interesting.

    You can find the mod in all FSX, DORE, SCI net BBSes... what's made for the BBSes, stays to the BBSes ;)

    You have to be subscribed to an echonet. All search queries are made via echomail. The thing is, that for other BBSes to reply, they must be on the same echonet, you are sending the queries. For the time being FSXNet is the best choice to get more replies and queries, via its FSX_DAT area. The instructions are in the mod archive.
