Hopefully it won't hit here, the BBS is on OS2 and stand alone and the
server runs RH 9 with a Firewall and I don't have  Email of anysort running
on a Micky Sloth machine, The 'flatmates' have Mickysloth but they're
behind the firewall and use Daum.net or Hotmail for Email so hopefully they
will be all right also.
