The Telnet/Dial-Up BBS Guide - Read Me.txt
------------------------------------------
Welcome to the March 2016 edition of the Telnet BBS Guide &
US/Canada Dial-Up BBS guide.

Wow! What a difference a month makes!

After going into shock trying to figure out how to continue with the Telnet BBS Guide
after my current web host has said they will no longer support the automation system
that I've been using for the last 15 years, there is a new site that is in progress
and will be ready in a couple of weeks. It will have a completely new look and 
"under the hood" functionality. However, it will have the same quality and quantity of
Telnet BBS listings that I've been trying to maintain over the 18+ years!

The old site will remain up for as long as possible until the new site is ready. It's
probably at the 80 to 90% stage now, but still working out some of the bugs and kinks.

A screen shot of what the new site will look like will be included in this file. 

Also, this mailing list will be moving to the new site once it's 100% up and rolling. 
I will send out an E-mail to this list with further instructions when that will happen
and how to subscribe to this mailing list moving forward.

I wish to thank Vincent Macaluso of Capital Shrill BBS and Shooter Jennings of
Bit Sunrise BBS for all the hard work they've done in helping me out. Without the help
of these two, the site would basically cease to exist. 

And finally, I will no longer be including mTelnet with this distro. While it's still a nice
program, there are other more modern freeware telnet clients out there. Vincent suggested
NetRunner as a good replacement, and I agree. I've obtained permission from the author
to include it with this distro moving forward. You can even go "full screen" with it, which
you could not do with mTelnet. It can also import the Syncterm.lst list (though at the moment
it is limited to the first 200 listings). 

It's been amazing month, and we're not done yet!

Thanks, and enjoy the ride!
