   If you have 256 nodes set up in your BBS config, they should show up as   
   just "offline" or "Waiting For Call". Honestly in todays bbs world, why    
   would you want 256 nodes. If a caller hit "Whos Online", and has to    
   scroll through 12 pages of "waiting for calls", he/she is lible to    
   disconnect and move on. I would love to have all my nodes busy with    
   callers, but the fact is, that's not gonna happen these days. I have 15    
   nodes available, 5 for each one of my systems, and It's a good day if 2    
   nodes are busy at the same time by legit callers. Let's face it, most of   
   todays callers are other sysops in the hobby. I've been in this hobby    
   since the early 90's, and I've seen the day when I had ten callers on at   
   one time. I used to run a paid system, with 10 incomming phone lines,    
   and if felt good making that money, but I always put it back in the    
   system, and paid for dinners for my co sysops. I had a good run, about 3   
   years as a paid system, but eventually, I dropped the paid, and gave    
   free access to all. As a sysop, I try to be the best I can be, not the    
   biggest I can be. Give the user a quality system, make it your own, and    
   they will come.
