      I'm not sure either. Apparently it's becoming popular on PC based BBS's.
I was board bopping and called 201-334-2555 (Hacker's Central) in NJ. The board
hung up early on me and I immediately got this voice phone call- it was an
apology from the sysop. Anyway, we talked for awhile and he mentioned that if I
had a Q-mail reader I could scan the somewhat large message bases very quickly.
It seemed legit to me as I have run into 'Q-mail' on other boards. There was a
weird member application question on this board "Who is the manufacturer of
your CPU?" Since I said 'Motorola'I was asked what operating system I used. The
sysop (Mike) was apparently familiar with this and knew I had a COCO at this
point. Another thing weird is some of the boards I was calling supported 38K
baud over the standard phone lines. I didn't know that was possible.
      Anyway, if no-one here knows how Q-mail works, I will make an effort to
find out.
       Paul
