Re: {bb} Paging/Mail in bb V1.08b won't work

[Nick Metrowsky <nmetro@colorado.edu>]

Eric,

THanks for the info. The ":0" was suppose to set the delay time between
pages to 0 according to the info in bbwarn.cfg. Anyway, I took that out
to see if it will change things. What I don't understand is why BBPAGER
needs to be set up on every client, as all the paging, data analysis,
creation of web pages, etc. is done (at least in my case) on one central
server.
