Howdy! Holger,

I was wondering if Your BBS was accessible from the internet?

I've joined Daryl's Thunderbolt BBS, although I don't Log On it much,
and thought I'd join Your BBS if it wasn't Dial-Up only.

iirc, there was a period here in the past that there was a charge for
renewing of a license, but luckily I never had to renew my station
during that period.

I could be wrong about what I just wrote, I'm sure Tom or Daryl will
straighten me out.
I just hope neither one of them uses the Wouff Hong on me.
