Hi FOXY FERGUSON, hope you are having a nice day

PW>> Oy. Keeping that many in some sort of sync... <bleh>
FF>Fact of the matter is that not all of them even CAN be kept in
8<snip>8
FF>systems. But then we had to box everything up for the 500+ mile
FF>move south, and we still aren't back to where we want to be yet.

 Ugh.. We moved down here in '89 and I've stuff that's still
never been unpacked. :< <sigh> By now I wouldn't be surprised
if it were a pile of dust what w/ the mice, silverfish, termites,
and now what they're calling `Supertermites'

 Look the same as a regular termite but can eat 10x as much.

 Considering it'd be impossible to replace some of the books
I've got... :'<

FF>Local network is currently in two dis-continuous sections,
FF>awaiting a trench for conduit being dug between the house and
FF>electronics workshop some 50 feet distant in another building.

 What abt using a RF or IR link? If I knew what kind of an
emitter/detector pair I could get away w/ on this box, I'd use
the ir port on this box & the one on the laptop a serial ports
to keep 'em sync'd. (laptop 'll do ir par port but not this box)

 The RF link could use the ham AX.25 standards.

PW>> BTW, have you seen any msgs from me in ZEC??
FF>Yes. And at least one reply by someone else before I could get
FF>around to it (other things had to come first). I won't say that
FF>you're getting out to everywhere in that echo because I don't
FF>know that it is even going to all nets, just that it should be
FF>available from all major hubs.

 I seem to be getting out, but nothing yet has come in. :/
Threatening to unlink them thru here, (z1b) relink via the system
I get qwkmail from (nab) and route complaints to /dev/hades.

 Rather tired not getting my mail.
