*** Quoting Michiel van der Vlist from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***

 CS>> Of course I could.  Stability issues though.  I'm happy with
 CS>> things as they are.

 MV> I see. So your phone bill is not high enough to trigger change....

MvdV> Hmmm... this may not have come out as I intended....

It's ok.  I understood you meant no 'bad'.

MvdV> What I wanted to say is that I am surprised that you are happy with ju
MvdV> a POTS connection when when the rest of Fido is no closer to you than
MvdV> an international call. I maybe could understand it if you were one of
MvdV> those that never tasted the benefits of Fido over IP, but you are not.
MvdV> You *have* played with bink, and you presentlky *have* a cable connect
MvdV> to the InterNet. But you do not use it and are happy with that....

MvdV> I don't get it.

All trysn to date have freaked out my non-computerate literalate husband
and ¨when i am away, he doesnt need more trials than life gives him already
with a ¨12Yo going on 17 at times.

Case in point.  He's not really aware that when Charlotte reboots to SuSe,
it's ¨his computer he is doing that on.

Stability is more important than the BBS.  I can always install the BBS
again ¨but I can not have the only lifeline to my family when I am at sea
for months ¨at a time, go down.  All packages tested to date, lack a 2
month staying power ¨for that but TG, shows strong at 9 months straight
without even a reboot.

I'm not HOME to fix it.  Don isnt a geek.  I chose my loss allowance and
¨pressing the envelope on what they can deal with isnt part of it when i'm
at ¨sea 9 months of the year.
