These days it seems every BBS has as one of its goals plans to get Fidonet.... when they do, inevitably the local posts almost cease entirely. The multiuser ones even go pay.... pay for access to national drivel with no local personality? Never.... Skyline, of course, is no gem. It feels huge and klunky to the end user, isn't terribly customizable to the sysop, and on top of that isn't all that consistent with itself. Yuck. -- Robert Jude Kudla Throw out your gold teeth and see how they roll; the answer they reveal: life is unreal.
