Would you believe I recently had a big sticky-beak at it, for a different
reason.  I came to the decision that I don't really need it.  I also had a
good look at EleBBS, as I used to run a RemoteAccess BBS, ermm... 11 years
ago although I threw away all the menu and userbase related files, but
would have been easier for me to handle.

There's not a real big demand requiring the effort of completly changing
the way I do things here.  E.g., I've had only 3 or 4 telnet callers in the
last 3 or 4 years.

I've also given thought to configuring a MBSE mailer/BBS but, again,
there's no demand.  It gets harder to justify continous tinkering with
software to the wife as the years roll by.

I'm happy with the minimal config here.  Thanks for the thought.

Cheers,
Paul.
