    Welcome back Donald...

    Yes it is fun. Quite a few BBS to explore online and a core group of people still having fun with BBS and others are returning to the scene.

    Regards, Paul

    Well that's great Donald, and nice to see you have made it onto Fidonet.

    love tinkering with stuff like that

    Yep I think that's what keeps a number of us interested in the scene. I also like the international dialogue that comes with the various echoareas.

    I do hope people will dial up my bbs

    There are other fidonet promotional echoareas you might want to post this info to in order to help get the word out. Dial up is a lot quieter now that in
    the 90s so if you can also offer a telnet connection it's worh doing so.

    Regards, Paul

    All good, it's worth having a crack at telnet... when you have time :-)

    Hi Donald,

    someday i will get the telnet part working for now its just
    dial up

    Assuming that's Wildcat 4 you are running, there is step by step
    instructions on configuring it for telnet under Windows here,

    Regards, Mike

    Mike, he is runing Wildcat! 6. Which kinda confuses me since he has an always-on Internet connection and he can do both dialup and telnet at the
    same time.
