I will say I think it RS> is fine software, just not really worth the money at RS> least to me. If I go to the gun range it cost me money. If I go golfing... it cost me money... If I play with the stupid BBS... it cost me money. I was one of the first to get WildCat 5... paid in advance and waited for the software to be completed. I have always been loosly updated, hence I only had to activate my AUP ... but my installed verson on my HDD not functional and I do nort want to look for my install disks so I Santronics to send me a copy. So here I wait untill I get my install disk.. I have played with other software, SynchroNET & Mystic, the only two worth mentioning, and I keep getting drawn back to WINS. The only problem I can see, and I'm not looking hard, is that Sanrtronics is spending alot of time on the larger aspects of the software, webserver, email server, and all the commercial aspects.... I wish more work is/was done on the telnet side and the rlogin... Anyway, we'll see what happens... Thanx for responding... Joe RS> ---- RS> Rick Smith (Nitro) RS> ...
