->   Well, I'm flat out of patience with MS operating systems.  Win2K 
-> just happily rearranged the IP addresses of every one of my network 
-> components, making them unusable with the BBS setup and the rest of 
-> the home network.

->   Rather than go to the bother of moving everything off the drive, 
-> reinstalling Win2k, moving everything back again, and then waiting 
-> for this to inevitably happen again, I'm going to pull-in some Linux 
-> distros and use one of the backup computers to learn the ropes with 
-> it.  In the meantime, incoming connections to the BBS probably won't 
-> be happening.

->   I've been fighting with this IP configuration for 2 days now, and 
-> it just keeps changing itself to whatever it feels like, no matter 
-> what I do, and it's a WAY too familiar feeling.

->   *grin*  So be warned...  I'm probably going to have a host of 
-> questions along the way.

Dude, you know, I am local to you, and I and a few friends get together
about twice a month or so here at my place in Lancaster to discuss
things Linux.  If you'd be interested in joining us for some pizza,
wings and Linux talk (and maybe a little bit of Malibu rum and lemonade
to wash it all down <G>) give me a call or email me at
robert.wolfe@robertwolfe.org.
