The BBS's        tried to put up a fight, but couldn't stand up to it. BBS's        began shutting down, along with that, dropping out of our        network and taking their users (what was left) with them.                      If this sounds like something you'd enjoy to help rebuild,        please fill out the METROAPP.XXX application (or run the included        METROAPP.EXE) and netmail or email it back to me. (Replacing the        XXX with your initials please) We are always looking for people        who want to hub/host mail for BBS's that are still alive in their        particular area.               Mail can be transfered by standard telnet sessions with        mailer to mailer or by other such "mailers" as Internet Rex,        or any other newer style fidonet style mailer.               *** Mail will mainly be transferred via BinkP on port 24554. ***               If you feel you can help out, or interested, please        by all means join our network and help us rebuild it        better than before.               ================================================================        The application can be downloaded from http://www.rgbbs.info               Please forward this app to e@rgbbs.info or telnet to        The Titantic BBS Telnet (ttb.rgbbs.info) and upload it there.        ================================================================                      ::: MetroNet Application :::               ::: Please Fill This Out Completely And Return It :::                     Your Real Name....................:              Your BBS Name.....................:              City/State or Country Location....:               BBS Telnet Address................:              Able to Transfer via BinkP?.......:              ...
