         About a week ago, the OS/2 boot disc self destructed, refusing to boot   
   (couldn't find PMSHELL.EXE).    Luckily I did have a valid current backup of   
   all my Fido stuff, including undelivered outbound traffic.   
      
         So with the help of my son (and Charles Cruden - author of Internet Rex),   
   I reinstalled the complete Fido system on an OS/2 setup on one of my son's   
   VMWare servers, and (so far) looks like everything is flowing smoothly.   
      
         As of this weekend I did change my nodelisting to remove the POTS line,   
   as the last call was received on it on March 04, 2012 - from an ip-capable   
   Fido node.  I don't operate any form of bbs, so see no need to maintain a POTS   
   line that's rarely, if ever, used.
