      Hello Nick,              21 Jul 18 10:56 at you wrote to All:               NA> Is it just me or is anyone else getting more callers lately?              I just keep getting script kiddies but that's from the lack of doing anything        on my part. I also don't really advertise my BBS. I haven't updated my        Telnet BBS List listing in quite some time but I'll wind up removing that        eventually because of how Dave Perrussel treated me on Facebook (I won't go        into it here). I am just too busy right now taking care of family matters and        working. I was called in today (it's a 90 minute round trip) to check on some        servers since we had severe weather this weekend and two electric poles got        knocked over, putting both of my employer's local factories offline for nearly        eight hours.              I've noticed an uptick of questions about Linux and OS/2 BBSing that I have        been receiving in other lines of communication (netmail, email, Skype). It        seems there's more people putting in boards. I've been seriously thinking        about putting a POTS line in even at the outrageous cost of $50+ a month here        locally with taxes (the US has the highest-taxed telecommunications system in        the world). But, with that being said, when I did have POTS, I got a lot of        local callers interestingly...              I'm hoping things will calm down enough for me to work on my hobbies more.        Just working, sleeping and repeating the process is not very fun.              Later,       Sean              ... Jargon is used as a means of succeeding by not simplifying.       --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: Outpost BBS * Limestone, TN, USA (1:18/200)    |
