Maybe He lurks in this echo.
I was hopeing that He was here because when I think of Cooking it reminds
me of Judy Oliphant talking about Her Weber years ago when I was reading on
Tom Currie's Volunteer GT Power BBS.
Daryl's BBS carries GT Power echos as well as FIDO and maybe others as
Mike Powell does also on this BBS.

Nancy, Have You ever heard of Judy O?
I don't know if She has been in any FIDO Cooking echos.
I'll have to see if this BBS has any GT Power Cooking echos, She may
still be around.

The Linksys PC Card I have uses a dongle with one slot for a CAT-5 connector
and it has 3 LED's on it too.

Glad that You got Your BBS Fix from Dale's house with Your notebook.
