Thanks. :) GV> I ran Ran a BBS on my Radio Shack Model one Computer way back in the GV> late 1970's and contined running a BBS with Fidonet Mail and Files GV> for 18-20 years, with over 400 callers per month but I finally took GV> the BBS down about 5 years ago when my Callers drindled down to two GV> or three calls per month.. I'm constantly getting new callers. It's really weird. I don't really advertise that much (when I remember to activate my autoposter). It's all word of mouth, really. I have four or five callers that are regular and a few that come and go. Not that big of a deal. I mostly still run the board for myself. GV> Please check a new Current Nodelist.z77 !!! The boards I've added are ones that I know to be around (I've called them). Mostly I'm just waiting for people to submit their own. I'm the North American RC for OS2Net also, so just waiting for people to respond back. GV> I would hate to be one of the people who were given that phone number GV> after the BBS was gone to get several Phone calls late at night on GV> their Phone number now being used as a Voice Phone, and when they GV> answer it, all they get is a Modem sound.. .... that's happened to me more than once. ;) GV> Sadly to say, but in todys INTERNET Culture, the Majority of the GV> computer using Public and even Most Computer sales people, NEVER GV> heard of a BBS or Fidonet... Yep, it's sad. Those that do sometimes ridicule me about it but hey-at least I don't have to be dependant on the Internet for callers. :) Later, Sean // sysop@outpostbbs.us | http://outpostbbs.us | ICQ: 19965647 --- Telegard/2 v3.09.g2-sp4/mL * Origin: Outpost BBS - Kennesaw, GA - outpostbbs.us (1:18/200) .
