  Scripting the comm program to do call-outs in the middle
of the night is the toughest part. Using a .QWK reader is
generally VERY simple and not really hard to set up. I have
always preferred using one, even when I was only calling
local BBS's, as I could log on and off within just a few
minutes and have all of the time in the world to do my mail.
Plus I could use the time that I WOULD have used doing on-
line mail to d/l files if I wanted.

  I believe the Edward DiGeronimo, Jr. is still responsible
for cross-posting the newsgroups, although he gave up the
AOL cross-posting.
 SE> I'd be happy to do that on occasion if you think its ok.
  Not at this time, although if Edward wants to give it up
at any time (or is no longer able to, although he should
be able to now that he is back in the echo), I would consider
you for the duty.
