That is why I like Doc's. My former dial Up source here in the San
Diego Area had SERIOUS "Fido Lag". I even found serious Lag i nmy
secondary source up in Santa Barbara area ,telnet of course. So the Lag
is/was a Southern California Problem in the FIDO distribution. I hung on
for about Two years before finaly giging up .I of cournse being a former
LIVE poster had to adapyt to an offline reader as live reading on the
internet is a HORRABLE experience on a dial up line. Somethiong that I
found HARD to do.
