Sorry, Bob, Ross;  I have about 6 POTS callers, 3 of them do not have internet
access due to the age,  type, or lack of capability of their OS, or computer,
or the cost of an ISP.  Apparently Juno, Netzero and the other freebies are not
available everywhere.

I think you'll find that there are quite a few more people than you would
expect in the same position;  though the times seem to decree that everyone run
Windows and have an account with an ISP, there are still a *bunch* of people
with DOSboxes in Fidonet, and it's my opinion that that's why they're still
here.
