Subj : Hi from Japan To : Herman Neut From : Rob Sargeant Date : Tue Dec 05 2006 09:45 pm Nope... That would be Jack, my pop. As for him, the demagogues drove him out of Fidonet some time ago. These days, it's the last thing on his mind. It's not a terribly high priority for me anymore, either. I keep my own system up because it isn't any sweat off my brow to keep it going, and it helps to keep N379 alive. I may tie the BB into the global ham packet radio network at a future time and date, lest some disaster knocks down the Internet for an extended period. A Katrina-like disaster happened here in 1989. Then, we went two weeks without power, and a month without landline service. Take care, Rob --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5 * Origin: (1:379/2) .
