I didn't know that until today when Tom mentioned REACT is on FRS freqs
now.

I guess you didn't know the "GT-Power BBS Network" was a different BBS
Network.

The Volunteer BBS wasn't in the "FIDO BBS Network", that's probably why
you couldn't find his name or BBS in the 'FIDO' Nodelist.

Back in the mid 1980's - early 1990's I saw in the Newspaper the City
Library had a BBS that was on FIDO, I Logged On as a GUEST to their BBS
one night to look around and didn't use it again because IIRC the only
BBS I was using then was for Commodore Computers, and what I saw on the
FIDO BBS didn't interest me back then as I was still learning what's
what on my Commodore 64 system.

Later on, I saw messages from Mike Powells PAN-AM BBS - formerly(sp?)
called Moe's Tavern BBS - while I was using Toms The Volunteer BBS,
and learned that Mike carried both BBS Networks AND there was a echo
for BASIC Programming on the FIDO Network side I joined Mike's BBS too.

After Mike got a job that took him away from my area I started using
Janis's < His BBS had File Areas with lots of Files with information to help
 EV> all kinds of Volunteer and Public Service people - CB, HAM, FIRE,
 EV> POLICE, etc., etc.

 RW> Janis Kracht probably has all of those files, as she's the
 RW> Sysop of a file distribution system called Filegate.

I'd have to ask Janis if Filegate has any of Tom's GT-POWER files.
I'll leave a message to her in the FIDO GAZETTE echo to find out.
But I wouldn't think she has any because AFAIK her BBS was/is only on
the FIDO Network.  Not sure about that though.

Do You read Janis's echo too?  If not I'll let You know what I learn.
