Hi Sean,

I need to look that one up, I'm about 20 miles from Killeen and never heard 
of it :)  Granted it's probably long gone, but it'd be interesting to see 
if I have any details about it in my BBS lists for the area.  It was a LD 
call to Killeen (back then anyway), so that might be why I never called.

Does WG still charge for their software?  If so, surely no one buys it 
anymore with so many great BBS apps for free.  Even if someone did invest 
in it years ago, I'd like to think they'd made their money back by now 
since I can't see anyone paying for a BBS today.

Thanks for the reply, and take care ---

Sam
