I *think* JoHo held up the release of FD when problems were had with
Frontdoor. At one time my feed of the FTSC echo (when it was an echo) was
via a FD system and FD and Wolf/68K were not happy with each other.  I
guess my mailer at the time (Wolf/68K) showed up some problems FD had with
FTS-0001 & Sealink.  The node I was linked with was running a beta
version of FD and the problems went back to JoHo.  I am not sure, but I
think JoHo was a member of the FTSC at the time.
