 JP> A fine system he has. I telnet to it from Montreal too.
 
 NB> I wondered about that... :)  I'm telnetting from Rochester NY, to
 NB> bbs's in RI, TX, and Great Britain, to get my Fidomail, along with now,
 NB> Doc's in FL.  It's getting harder to tell where someone really is, from
 NB> the Origin Line of the messages.  :)

 RS> I hope you don't mind me jumping in here.

Nope, no problem...  :)

 RS> Regarding your comment on not knowing where a person is physically
 RS> located from the BBS origin line - I'm actually in Melbourne,
 RS> Australia but telnet into "My Desk BBS" which has all the echos I
 RS> wanted. The BBS is located near Tecoma, WA, USA - a long way from
 RS> home, but it works... a strange old world ain't it ;-)

And getting stranger all the time...   Now some of our traveling is
done only via the ether, not just our messages, but to our apparent
origins as well...  :)

For a while after I started to telnet, I'd use the tagline below, just
to help keep the facts straight.  :)
