Hello Bob - 

DM>> To oldtimers who actually have modems and stuff, yes. But

BS> A bit, yeah. Then again, I have feen in FidoNet since just
BS> prior to Jeff Rush inventing this concept called
BS> "echomail". (grin) 

Not sure what "around" means. I haven't seen you posting
anything that I can recall. 

I've been online since before FIDO existed using "The Source"
originally and it had SIGS with messages from users. I used to
read the "APPLE Users SIG" messages and "WINK" magazine. 

DM>> I really need to convert my fido over to Linux. There are
DM>> so few reasons I'm still running OS/2 - and this is one of
DM>> them. :-) BTW - 

I have two Linux installs and both of them can access QWK
packets, read and reply using ATP for Linux, and upload them
back again. 

BS> I still have an old box with OS/2 that I have to recover
BS> some old archived files from before redeploying (or
BS> retiring) it. I am pleased with the Linux systems here
BS> though. Pretty much rock solid and extremely powerful for
BS> all the network server stuff. 

Linux is no more 'powerful' than W2K for all the network server
stuff. That's folklore and fantasy. 

DM>> I'm no longer in Toronto (nevermind what net I'm in), but
DM>> back in Edmonton (well, the Park)... :-) 

BS> Great! Does this mean you'll be rejoining 342? We'll have
BS> to get together for coffee sometime. 

I'm still in Michigan near Detroit where I've always been and
Jason Betts is in Australia. Wayne Chirnside is in Florida. Not
sure about everyone else but we can take a poll and find out.
