    Hallo August,

    Just curious.. does his echo have any eyes?

    At least I'm subcribed to the echo :)

    Hello Anna!

    I had almost completely forgotten about this one. I see great
    value in having some echos mentioned in lists or ECHO_ADS
    otherwise they are "unknown" and never get any attention.

    I check in every now & again -- not as conveniently as if I could get my point working or even QWKmail. . .

    I miss DOS! I have everything set up beautifully on my IBM 80486 with my fave reader I found after testing many. . . but nobody's running dial-up any more anyway, & I can't get it set up (physical limitations)

    The 80486 can't use the internet for telnetting to a BBS?

    Hey there,
    Yes a 486 can do telnet on internet. I'm replying to this message from MSDOS 6.22. Basically, with Microsoft Network Client 3.0 & some more stuff like the mTCP package. The most hard part was to find a packet driver and have it setup correctly.

    Best regards, from France.

    Currently in the path of ongoing smoke from the fires to the north in Ontario. Https://firesmoke.ca

    Crap has not subsided. Apparently interest rates are poised to go up. That... while businesses are struggling to crawl out of debt loads acquired during the 2020-2022 lockdowns.

    What a catastroph these forest fires are! So sad. :0(
    Are you a fireman?

    I don't think things will ever get better. All this has to be willed, programmed even. Little by little..

    No.

    I think most of these fires are probably most likely due to the
    extremely dry Spring this year and lightning strikes.
