Also, as       someone trying to enforce a self-imposed exile from the internet, FREQing       suddenly seems very cool and useful.              Is this still something which is done? I sort of know the answer to this one -       because I can see the file league tables in (the excellent) Fidogazette.              But they seem to be weather charts, on the whole. Is it possible to FREQ a       list of files for another BBS and request anything there? I have read       something about Magic Names, for this purpose I believe, but would like to       know if this system is still operational.              The BBS I call doesn't have extensive files for my OS of choice (ok, none). Is       it possible for me to FREQ a file list from another BBS, and then specific       files off that board?              Thanks!       --- SBBSecho 3.10-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/200 426 1014 240/5832 249/206 307 317 400 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 280/5555 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 103/705 280/464 229/426           |
