Not a problem.  I know of a BBS that uses nothing but aliases.

It looks like the "upgrade" to Windows95 ended just like mine did.  Freelance 
Graphics would not import a PowerPoint 4.0 presentation with embedded 
TrueType fonts...  Needless to say, I'm sticking with Warp 4.0.

Yep.  Reboot city.  I'm experiencing a bunch of problems with Microsoft's 32 
bit TCP/IP add-on to WFWG 3.11 and Netscape. Not a problem with my Warp 4.0 
setup on a Thinkpad 760E, and after fixing a problem with Netscape on my 
desktop (a home-built system based on a Cyrix P-166+) it works well here too.
 F> The real name is Ryk Deyoe BTW.....
Please use your name in a signature block at the end of your messages (like: 
Frostbyte also known as Ryk Deyoe).
