From there I can telnet back       into the BBS from the outside or hit the web page with links.              There are many free shell services out there, that if you're comfortable       with a linux command line and SSH can let you be on the outside, so to       speak, and test your BBS.                             --- MultiMail/Win v0.52        * Origin: http://realitycheckbbs.org | tomorrow's retro tech (1:218/1)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 18/200 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187       SEEN-BY: 129/305 153/7715 154/110 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700 720 810       SEEN-BY: 218/840 850 860 880 940 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 206 300       SEEN-BY: 229/317 400 426 428 470 550 664 700 705 266/512 291/111 301/1       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26       SEEN-BY: 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 218/700 229/426           |
