i havent used RA in 20+ years,(and i only played a little with elebbs) but i'm pretty sure it's gonna be hard to do QWK networking with his bbs software.  Maybe someone that knows RA/elebbs better can speak up.  I think it's a right tool for the right job type of thing.

In the RA docs it mentions ftn and what software you can use.
And i've found the elebbs docs and they are total dogshit. So i will  now
abandon this information journey.

I think mark lewis would be a good guy to ask about this stuff.

With synchronet bbs, qwk networking is pretty easy (I still don't like to use it), but he's not using synchronet.

Regardless you are going to use a hub if you're using qwk or ftn.
ftn is just the easier more sensable way.  I used to know a lot of shit about bbsing and I had tons of time to test stuff and play with stuff.  It's now almost 30 years later. if you don't use it you lose it.

Regardless, using the right tool for the right job is something that you shouldn't forget.
