Hello, Nancy.

There's actually quite a few boards carrying this echo according to the
SEEN-BY lines.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the BW door to work with Maximus
correctly and I'm not sure quite why.  I'm in the middle of moving to
Tennessee (I actually have to be out of this apartment here in Georgia on
Saturday), but when things settle down up there I'll give it a try again if
the Y2K problems don't curtail it completely.

You're calling Mike's board, right?  Running Telegard?  I have a history
with Telegard (in fact if you look, I'm mentioned in the documentation),
but I'm sticking with Maximus for now.  After all, after my accident last
April, I hadn't really touched the BBS for nearly a year and it ran fine
without my intervention.

When I move, I'll be adding a dial-up line, just because.  I may actually
start using it for mail transfer too-the Internet has become incredibly
crowded over the past ten years.

Later,
Sean
