Hello Max.

Hmmm ...  Linux is great, just uhmm .. different, Echoes that are 
useful are LINUX, LINUX_BBS, and MBSE, but currently I don't have access to 
the latter, which will change as soon as I organise myself a new internet 
account.

Yep, dial-up would cost, and I might go telnet for a period, each night, but 
that will be a while still, keeping the connection open on per/second billing 
is not something to be taken lightly.

I have three doors, I am playing with at the moment, none working yet, but I 
expect to make progress, if slowly, :-((   - LORD, BRE, and TradeWars -

IGM's I gather are like "plugin's" for BBS door games, do these
also have to 
be registered like LORD, if so, could make this a expensive "trip", quiet 
quickly.

Had a quick peek at LORD II, and the way it is presented, did not impress, 
but that may change, once I have the others going, and have time to figure it 
out better.

Thanks for the help, and information.
