Hello Daryl;

 -=> Quoting Daryl Stout to Peter Coggon <=-

 
 PC>  Now theres a familar name....
 DS> Uh, oh...I'm in trouble now. <g>
 
  Nah !    Just seen the name drifting here and there on the Network.,
Thats all  <G>....

 DS> I still get some dial-up callers, but most are telnet now. Years
 DS> ago, there were at least a dozen BBS's in central Arkansas...and one
 DS> could go to a monthly gathering and put faces to the names.
 
    I was only at 2 callers whenever.  Of course the place here is only
44,000 people.

Before the Internet, we had well over 30+ going, and each had it's
uniqueness and they were all great to sign in on.  Sysops and users
met most Friday nights, and we had every few months, computer night.
That was before the Internet....after that it felt like a wet towl
had decented....all gone.


 DS> It has gotten so if a door isn't supported, I won't register it. I
 DS> had some authors take the money and run. But, I can't afford to add any
 DS> more right now, which is just as well...I have around 300 now. So, no
 DS> one can't say I don't have variety. :)

   I never had that many.  I did have Exitulus and well tried to support
and that fell right through.   The game ver3.17 was totally incomplete
and that was the last door game that was ever brought.
 
 DS> The packet door I have from Dave Perry, W4KGU, works mainly with the
 DS> MFJ series TNCs. But, I think the HT I was using has died...however, I
 DS> can't afford to get data radios (one for packet and one for APRS and
 DS> weather data) right now. So, while the door is still there...for now,
 DS> it says "TNC not available".
 
   My radio was always there for licenced hams, and if I was there I allowed
users to sample it....of course with me in control.    No APRS or any of
the other stuff...now I just use the radio mostly in the morning for packet
and sometimes even a chat on 146.520  and some repeaters....thats all.

 DS> I'm at N5VLZ@W5AUU.#CENAR.AR.USA.NOAM -- and also on Echolink.

   I am also on Echlink.   Joined when it was Ilink or something like
that .... I think my number 2347 but I am not sure....if I see your
call I'll give you a buzzz   <G>....
