Yeup.

Joe's been posting in the FIDONEWS echo of late. Although I haven't seen
anything from him in a few months now.

Well, Fidonet can always use another node. You can always get a PVT
listing, which exempts you from the ZMH requirement in policy. Plus you
can still get your mail the same way you do now. I'm sure Walhberg would
be glad to add you to net 202 and you can always get a feed from Brenda
Donovan if all else fails. She's required as RC10 to keep a dial up node.

You will need to change software though if you're using a OLR. Downlinks
need to use something that can download packets without logging onto a
BBS.  I don't know how far advanced POINT199 has become, but it's quite
capable of being point or node software.
