You're right.  Micronet is gated to QWK through a few Synchronet systems and
a WINServer system.

As the moderator of this echo, I should probably do something like that...

Sounds like a project.

I am a little unsettled right now with other projects but maybe in a few
months I can tackle something like that.

Fun fact: Micronet's zone number is the area code for Southern Illinois
where I was living at the time I started Micronet.

Later,
Sean
