On the 29/02/96, Bill waffled to Dieter..

 Hello Bill,

 DM> What do you expect from a pigeon killer ?

 BG> True, but I have a "final solution" organised for when he
next visits
 BG> Brisbane.  I have now trained my 3 Peachfaces, 2 Cockatiels, and 2
 BG> Quail (as well as the 80-odd itinerant Rainbow and Scaly-breasted
 BG> Lorikeets who feed here each day) to attack him on sight.  The hardest
 BG> part was training them to eat meat.  :)
 
 Waste of time. Paul only leaves his abode to scuttle to and from
 work.

 BG> Could well be, as the line levels between here and TML are amongst the
 BG> worst that I've ever seen.  In fact, it's a credit to USR that his
 BG> Courier managed to connect at 28800/LAPM at all.  His M34F sure won't
 BG> (most times). 
 
 DM> I had good connects with the Netcomm BBS, although Netcomm HQ is
 DM> located in an adjacent suburb from 3M.

 BG> Oh really?  That sure explains a lot then, as I get terrible connects
 BG> with 3M most times, even at V.32bis.
 
 I could never get through to 3M at night from home. I gave it up
 as a source of OS/2 files, and went direct to the IBM BBS.

 DM> Well, across Lane Cove River. Maybe they've got soggy cables ?

 BG> Seems that Sydney's telco infrastructure needs replacing urgently...

 Slowly slowly....

 Dieter
