Thanks for your interest.  I have been a bit surprised that there has
not been more response here in the Echo, since many people list internet
addreses in their signature lines.
I agree with you about the problems of access to Fidonet BBS.  In the
eight years I have been participating here in TREK, I have had three
BBSs I was using go out of service on me.
This list has not been created yet, but I'll keep the Echo posted.
