Hello Tom - 

CA>> Doc's is sometimes offline for a half hour to an hour (I'm
CA>> guessing that is for maintenance purposes) but I haven't
CA>> noticed it being offline more lately than it has been at
CA>> any other time. 

CA>> The obvious advantage to using either Doc's or Juge is
CA>> that you are up/downloading to the same BBS most other
CA>> echo participants are using and can therefore avoid the
CA>> 'fido lag' of BBS further down 'the pipe'. 

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

FIDO lag was something like 3 days when I called direct to BBS.
One nicer thing about telnet'able BBS now. 

TW> as live reading on the internet is a HORRABLE experience on
TW> a dial up line. Somethiong that I found HARD to do. 

Online use of the echos was always difficult/annoying IMO.
