->  TW> I am a "Funny Old Duck" and do all my FIDO stuff live in line. In the
->  TW> ond days I was involved with so many messages that I had to
->  TW> distribute the echos I read between Three or Four BBS's so I could 
->  TW> read all the messages in my time limit.                               


-> I spread my messaging across several BBSes in the early days.  But when QWK 
and
-> offline methods were introduced, I quickly latched on to that method.  I 
can't
-> imagine tieing up the phone line and doing echmail reading/writing "live"
-> anymore.

 In the early days I did have a problem in the house by trying up the
Phone Line. But setting Priorities about WHAt was important to ME I
soon had a Second Line installed that is dedicated to Modem use only..
