      Moved to keep Sean happy :)              On Jul 16, 2016 11:18am, RUBEN FIGUEROA wrote to ROBERT WOLFE:               RF> I also resubscribed for the WinServer 7.

It will       be nothing but a major headache in the long run.               RF> Games do work now. But instead of going to rdfig.net:1024, if you want        RF> to play the dos door games you telnet to wildcat.darktech.org on        RF> standard port and then you can play the games.              Yeah, I can see where this could be confusing for some.               RF> See ya later.               RF> --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        RF> * Origin: Prison Board BBS Mesquite Tx //telnet.RDFIG.NET www.        RF> (1:124/5013)              ...
