Hello, Trev Roydhouse, I'd like you to meet my friend, Harvey...
TR> Tonight I received an email response from Wynn Wagner III (the copyright
TR> holder) giving his permission for mounting such an effort. He also
TR> wondered whether anyone was still interested in Opus ... a valid enough
TR> query.
Hey Wynn? Can you hear me speaking through Trev's monitor?
Short answer: HELL YES!!
Longer answer. Way back when, before I'd ever heard of FidoNet, Opus was
'the' BBS. Fido is now suffering a decline in sysop and user interest due to
this thing called Internet. It is -possible- to give Fido a Really Big Boost,
one that it needs, by offering the user and sysop a truly state of the art
interface. I don't know if you've looked into this, Wynn, I've heard that
KA9Q can do it but haven't tried, but if you could induce Opus to respond to
a PPP connection and serve HTML, I can virtually guarantee folks'd be piling
back in droves.
More via email.
TR> Stop! No! Don't ask - it'll be ready when it's ready :-)
Say, Trev, when's it, ummm... Oh, I see. OK [G]
:-)
