I saw that on another network.  Apparently his systems are still running as
his BBS ads are still posting on FIDO.  I got a chance to interact with him
some when he was adding a GT Power BBS to the Prison Board family, and I
think he helped me with an issue or two on other subjects.

We've been losing a lot of folks in the wider BBS community lately.

Is there something special that Wildcat systems require in order to connect
to an FTN or QWK network?
