 TL> Hmm, it's more likely they didn't know how to use Hyperterm or any of
 TL> the third party terminal programs. :-/  Most people simply don't know
 TL> and aren't curious enough to find out...

  Actually since I tried Hyperterm, and I could dial ok with the latest
I wondered if too they just were not curious enough, and of course they
were Internet hooked.

 TL> represent a new opportunity.  I'm not in a position to maintain dialup
 TL> lines (especially at today's line rental rates, which are 2-3 x what
 TL> they were when we had the BBS running), and I'm also able to physically
 TL> locate it somewhere I can keep it up 24x7 on good bandwidth for minimal
 TL> cost (some 10000 miles away in Atlanta). 

  You forgot hydro.   I was looking too at the latest ADSL and have all
the filters for the phone, so it can be left online 24/7 but then
I backed out for lack of a BBS program, and it is a do it alone thing
and well I have not been getting too much free time to tinker with it,
so----o we'll see for 2007.

 TL> It's going to take some time, especially since I'm working on a
 TL> priority upgrade to my Echolink setup - I am setting up a HF link, for
 TL> demonstration purposes with the bushfire crisis, with the option of
 TL> enabling the transmitter, if it's needed to assist.

  I am on  Echolink too ... been on since the days when it was known
as Ilink.  I wanted to get something like that too, and IRLP but
as yet, I have not decided where to fit that in too.

 TL> Synchronet BBS coming soon!
 TL> ... Got my tie caught in the fax... Suddenly I was in L.A.
 TL> -!- MultiMail/Win32 v0.47

 TL>  ! Origin: Vertrauen - vert.synchro.net (1:103/705)

  I wonder how you rate Synchronet BBS to the Wildcat BBS program?

  Anyway thanks for the packet..or oops message, and I wish you
luck with your projects.
