   Hey Jimmy!   
      
   Do you prefer Jimmy or JIMMY?   
      
    JA> I assumed it was short for intelectual   
      
   Ah!  Okay but in my defence Intel looks more like a name for a certain chipset   
   manufacturer.   
      
    JA> When I first learned about and starting using BBS's in the 90's,   
      
   I started with Fidonet around 90-ish or so although just as a user, not a   
   sysop.  My first Fidonet BBS was around 95-ish, called Zoltan BBS running on a   
   486 in a basement in Ladysmith BC, Canada.   
      
    JA> I think they had four incoming lines.   
      
   Only one data line on Zoltan but I did run across some multiline BBSs here and   
   there.  None in Ladysmith however.   
      
    JA> These were mostly long distance from each other and even included   
    JA> a couple of North Mississippi & North Alabama BBS's.   
      
   I think I've got them all beat as far as long distance is concerned.  I am   
   sure I am the furthest west nodelisted in North America and maybe even the   
   furthest removed from Mississippi and Alabama.   
      
   Life is good,
