Hello all!

   Take a break from the internet's automated madness.  Slow down,
   sit back and log into one of the BBSes advertised in this group.

 Before HTTP, WWW, Google, Facebook, eBay or any of the internet stuff
 people take for granted now, BBSes were moving people's messages and
 files.   We still do WITHOUT the spam.   We do it without the glitz.
   We are real people at the keyboards -- not autoresponder robots!

   Never done it before?  Need help?  JUST ASK!  Almost any BBS you
  call into will have a System Operator (SysOp) that would be happy
              to help you navigate the BBS environment.

Best regards,
Marc
