AFAIK, the HTML-format documentation is usually installed with 
Multinet, so you may have a copy of the 4.4 manuals already installed 
on that box.   But if not, here's a copy of V4.4 that's accessible:  
<http://deathrow.vistech.net/docs/multinet/multinet-v44/admin_guide/Ch30.htm#E47E31> 


Looks like the Banner stuff wasn't documented, or there was a 
documentation error.  The PrintMotd toggle is probably the closest to 
what you want.  Try that.

I'll presume there's some reason this box is still running fossil 
versions, and no, I'm not really interested in what the particular 
fig-leaf might be.

And FWIW, remember to clean out the References: in the nntp posting 
headers when you're using the "reply" and also cleaning out the 
contents of the previous posting, or (easier) just use the "new" 
feature to get a new posting.  Otherwise, your posting gets threaded in 
with what you replied to...
