Right but there might still be some who don't have that option available to 
them.  I think it would be more of a local thing, more then likely on POTS, 
then an internet connected node.  Mind you even then having a links file 
available where the "good stuff" can be located might be something to consider. 
 Tough to say for sure these days what is really happening or what may or may 
not be a desirable FTN commodity.  Offhand I think it is a good thing to have 
in there.  Who knows?  I might even start using it myself.  :-)

Could very well be.  I have yet to check myself.  Sorry about that.  Will do so 
soon.  Honest!!!

Life is good,
Maurice
