Hi, Stephen!

I promise, this one will be short. 

 SG> Yes, it would be possible...

Okay, thanks.  About losing the code: I understand.  I think I've lost
the source code to my own doors about three times (one of them I
completely rewrote and then, somehow, completely lost the source
again... ).  No rush on that.  Right now, just trying to get
everything in order for my move.

 SG> It may be incorrectly described in the help/docs but I *think* it is
 SG> now - and not /. It's been a while
since I've done
 SG> anything to ETI as I lost the code I was working on - HD went south on
 SG> me.

Let's see ... *jumps to a DOS window*

Yep, that's the ticket.  It's - instead of /.  Okay, well, that
mystery is solved.

 SG> I've recently found a replacement drive and with a bit of luck, I

 SG> still have an (much) older backup that I can try to bring up to date
 SG> if I can remember how I did it all. :)

Heh, been there, done that.  I'm working on starting to save for a
brand new Certance (Seagate) DDS-3 12/24GB DAT tape drive ($379 for
the drive, but the tapes are CHEAP-$5 or less a piece).  I'm going to
make damn sure I start to back up EVERYTHING.  I don't want to lose my
stuff again (that includes the BBS!).

 SG> Definately. ;)

When I worked as phone tech support for Sears, we had the ID-10-T and
the PEBKAC errors (Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair).  One
tech would actually tell people, "Sir/Ma'am, that's a PEBKAC error.
Those are difficult errors to fix, but we'll try to fix it."  What the
bad part was that the rest of us (there were four techs to a cubicle
and our mikes were so sensitive on the phones that we couldn't laugh
or other customers would hear us) had to sign off the phone, run to
the bathroom and laugh until we cried when he used it.  He was a brave
one. 

 SG> Worked both ways for me but yet to be confirmed.
 SG> Plenty, but none as far as the above problem is concerned. The cmd
 SG> line looks to be correct. I can't see anything in the message area
 SG> options that would prevent it. 1:1/21 is a valid (nodelisted) address?

Yes, it is a valid nodelist address (it's the Elist bot address)... I
do have EZYNODE and all of my nodelists set up and compiled.

Here's what BONK says about that address:

S)ystem Title: THE INTERNATIONAL ECHOLIST
O)perator....: ECHOLIST
ÀÄindex key..: Echolist
G)eneral Info: SOUTH BAWLAMER MD
T)elephone...: 1-443-919-9251

(That's South Baltimore for non-locals. ;)

 SG> Is he having the same problem when testing it?

I don't know if he is or not.

BTW, no netmails yet.

Later,
Sean
