Hmm, maybe I'll give it a try again.  I did get a DID for my BBS & it's just
sitting there.  1200bps though?    *shudders*

Yeah, we used to be with a local cable provider.  They were then gobbled up
by a national player & that's when all the changes started.

If we're preparing for war, I should get my HAM license & go packet radio,
seeing as we're already at 1200 baud anyway.  Then I don't even need to worry
about copper!  ;)

I do have Telegard up & going - I should maybe test with that & see if I fare
any better as it has built-in modem support.  Dammit, now I have more work to
do...  ;)
