Right but there might still be some who don't have that option available to
them.  I think it would be more of a local thing, more then likely on POTS,
then an internet connected node.  Mind you even then having a links file
available where the "good stuff" can be located might be
something to consider.  Tough to say for sure these days what is really
happening or what may or may not be a desirable FTN commodity.  Offhand I
think it is a good thing to have in there.  Who knows?  I might even start
using it myself.  :-)

Could very well be.  I have yet to check myself.  Sorry about that.  Will
do so soon.  Honest!!!

Life is good,
