The author has a special rate for Fidonet nodelisted sysops: $20 for a full
registration.  Email him at pcmike{at}pcmicro.com (I believe that's it) and
ask. If for some reason that doesn't work, I'll contact him via Facebook.

I am a registered NetSerial user as I have a working SPITFIRE BBS setup
under Windows that I was tinkering with at one time.  I personally really
like NetSerial-it works quite well and the author actually does give tech
support these days. :)

On a seperate topic: did you get my netmail I sent you?

Later,
Sean
