Thanks for the reply.
I would really need to have some sort of bridge - VB to Mambo, but at a real push I could just have VB in the subdirectory where members will have to log on there.
I see that there is a VBridge, but I believe that you have to modify some VB files - I have no problem with this, though I would want a bridge that is well supported - not just a "cludge". (No offence to anyone intended

)
Do you have any experience of the
"import various NNTP Usenet news groups into the forum". I would really like to do this, but need to know how easy it is!
Thanks,
Dave
