At least the last time I checked to see. Mike Powell, the SysOp of this BBS has more than just the FIDO echoes on this BBS. There are at least five other BBS Networks that I can read their messages. GT_POWER, DoveNEt, MicroLink, IL-Net and FSX Net. October 2016 is when I first saw messages in my .QWK Packets in FSX Net echoes. Mike Joined (or Subscribed) some of their echoes for my account for me then. Surprise!, Surprise! I got more to read now.

Yes, I knew that You were speaking of Commands running on the SysOps BBS program. I'd just never remember seeing those b4.

HG> Even as any user you can ask for the commands for the program your HG> sysop prefers, and the password required to use the commands. I never asked to be a Co-Sysop, even though I have wrote Mike when I thought I saw a problem while using the BBS. EV> By 'Host' do You mean a BBS or Echo on the BBS? HG> The Host is the BBS that delivers the areas you want to read/write in. I just call a BBS a BBS, don't remember seeing the word Host to mean a BBS. DUH! HG> The more surprising to me, is that you passed the free Win10 offer. EV> Usually I don't leap when I hear about something new to me. HG> Neiher do I, but when I read/hear something is free, I take note. I can understand downloading a file/program from a well known Company, there are a lot of so called Free download offers from others that might have a catch to it, like Malware - etc., but being offered by Microsoft would seem to be something safe......... EV> SP3 is the last major update that it has on it. HG> Yes SP3 is last update to XP and newer ones will not be forthcoming.
