Thanks Peter, I went there, got about everything I needed, and then some.

Now all I need is to get busy:-)

We're "down" to about 18,000 nodes now, If we can keep half of them around
after Y2K we should be able to survive.  The internet is a perfect workhorse
for Fido, much better and cheaper than it used to be, and files are a
non-issue, so I look at it as just a much better method of running conferences 
than the newsgroups.

I haven't looked into that yet, but, I think it's got to happen soon, or we
will lose our net.  We are only about 20 nodes now, down from 130, and Y2K
hasn't hit yet.  Lots of us are running old software.  My hub has been running 
OS/2 2.1 and an OLD version of OPUS.  The NEW version of OPUS is 10 years old, 
that's what I run:-)
