 AS> It *WILL* eventuate Rod, as I said

I don't doubt it..  just wondering if it'll be in my lifetime though

I trust that there will be suitable announcements in the following
echo's..
64_Talk
CBM
BBS_User
BBS_News.

It needs to be running at least 6-12 months to get itself
"established". Hopefully the operators don't get too frustrated at the
lack of calls during this time. :-(

Is Andrew a modemmer ?  I haven't seen his name on any of the echo's.
He never called "Thistle Dome" (probably before his time)

True..  but in my experience there is only one group worse than 64/128
users in this regard, and that is Amiga users   :-)
