Hello Tom - 

CA>> I use a telnet terminal app to connect to either Doc's or
CA>> Juge, it's more like "the old days" using terminal
CA>> software and dialup and looks much the same as "the old
CA>> days" did - even the color ANSI graphics. :-) 

TW> Before I started using an Off Line reader I perfered that
TW> way. 

I remember you had said that many many times. :-) 

TW> Although I never could get Hyperterminal to work right and
TW> could't make message corrections. 

I've only used HyperTerminal on other people's machines, it is
not installed onto my machine. I didn't like it and did find
the process of downloading QWK packets with it to be awkward
but I don't remember _why_ just that I didn't like
HyperTerminal. 

TW> But when just excahging message packets I see NO reason to
TW> use a telnet terminal. 

Possibly for nostalgia's sake? It looks like you're doing a
dialup access to a local BBS and I have some good memories of
those times having written and supported a BBS software package
oh so many years ago. :-) 

TW> After all I spend a portion of my time on the Internet
TW> anyhow so why not grab the packets then?? 

Well we _all_ multitask these days. Executing a telnet terminal
is not a problem while connected to the internet with your
browser. :-)
