 I was aware of that, but I hoped he would be back by now.

 Yes, please send the address to rscudder@usa.net.
 As long as Jerry has ftp access, I should be able to get him
 set up with a full fidonet feed for $1 per month.  The software
 needed is either free or P.D.  Of course he'd also have to be
 willing to abide by the (,IMHO out dated,) fidonet rule that
 nodes accept only netmail during ZMH.  He could be a MO node,
 which is what I am.  It's very similar to being a point with
 a little more responsibility and some perks too.
 Maybe if we can convince him of how badly he is needed here, he
 will make the effort to get set up again.
 I consider Jerry's enormous technically skill combined with his
 ability to communicate to the beginner as well as the advanced
 to be a great gift.  I truly miss his presence here, as I'm sure
 others who had contact with him do also.
