   Sounds good!  I was a beta tester of sorts for Telegard/2 (I'm mentioned in   
   the docs as "hausmaus"), Nexus/2 (a DOS-based BBS), SGMail by Brent   
   Shellenberg, and a few other projects that never got off the ground.   
      
    PLJ> Both of my bbs system have 20 available nodes Cnet has one dialup node.   
      
   Sounds good!  I'm running Maximus/2 under ArcaOS (a third-party   
   maintained/developed version of OS/2).  I hope to have a POTS node one of   
   these days--I actually got a lot of local callers.

   Why not?  Something to keep the hobby alive. :)
