   Howdy! Holger,

   I was wondering if Your BBS was accessible from the internet?   
      
   I've joined Daryl's Thunderbolt BBS, although I don't Log On it much,   
   and thought I'd join Your BBS if it wasn't Dial-Up only.

   iirc, there was a period here in the past that there was a charge for   
   renewing of a license, but luckily I never had to renew my station   
   during that period.   
      
   I could be wrong about what I just wrote, I'm sure Tom or Daryl will   
   straighten me out.   
   I just hope neither one of them uses the Wouff Hong on me.
