Greg, I sent you an email but it bounced back with a 'host unknown'
message. Are you still at umd.edu? The mailserver that I use is
run by OregonVOS.net, with over 60 different dialups in the state of
Oregon, but that shouldn't make any difference. (But practical
experience says it does; direct dialing is almost always superior to the
indirect service of the many mailservers needed to facilitate the
transmission of packets across the country - so if perchance you had a
real BBS (not a website) with a real 'direct dial number' I could go
there, maybe, cut out all the middlemen and send you email directly?)
