It also was an opportunity to clean up the system and drop things that were no 
longer needed. I dropped POTS. I did not have any incoming POTS calls for five 
years, so instead of looking for a BSO POTS mailer to replace InterMail, I 
figured I might as well drop POTS alltogether. Nobody complained. I also 
dropped diff processing. I still receive diffs from Ward and have them 
available for whoever is interested, but for myself I just use the daily 
nodelists.

Yeah, like Wilfred said: that rumour was never publically confirmed bu Charles 
himself and I have a bit of trouble believing he would not have a backup. It 
does not matter to me. For me goodbye is goodbye. I have said goodbye to Irex 
and that's it. I am not going back.

That will surely make it easier...

 DH> Appreciate the help!

You'r welcome.


Cheers, Michiel
