   If I go to the gun range it cost me money.  If I go golfing... it cost me   
   money... If I play with the stupid BBS... it cost me money.  I was one of the   
   first to get WildCat 5... paid in advance and waited for the software to be   
   completed.  I have always been loosly updated, hence I only had to activate my   
   AUP ... but my installed verson on my HDD not functional and I do nort want to   
   look for my install disks so I Santronics to send me a copy.  So here I wait   
   untill I get my install disk..   
      
   I have played with other software, SynchroNET & Mystic, the only two worth   
   mentioning, and I keep getting drawn back to WINS.  The only problem I can   
   see, and I'm not looking hard, is that Sanrtronics is spending alot of time on   
   the larger aspects of the software,  webserver, email server, and all the   
   commercial aspects.... I wish more work is/was done on the telnet side and the   
   rlogin... Anyway, we'll see what happens...   
      
   Thanx for responding...
