       Dear Interested SysOp,   
      
           MetroNet began in 1994 with as little as 3 bulletin boards   
       in South-West Pennsylvania and quickly expanded to well over   
       63 boards through-out Pennsylvania and a few western states.   
       Slowly but surely the InterNet reared it's ugly head into   
       town and the users were no longer interested in "lowly BBS's"   
       but all the "Pretty Pictures" of the InterNet.  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
