[I wasn't too sure about porting this because of the commercial aspect.

 With ECFB going down it will be necessary to find alternative boards for
 Forthers to meet and exchange ideas online.  GEnie is an excellent
 resourse, but it cost $.  It is very easy to run up a large bill just
 keeping track of the latest Forth discussions.

 If you need to upload/download files, then GEnie is your best bet in the
 Washington area.  However, I have an alternative if all you want to do
 is read the messages.  There is a board in the area (with 9 nodes) that
 has the 'comp.lang.forth' uunet discussion board.  All 9 nodes are 2400
 baud, and the system runs a custom unix board (kind of different but
 still good).  There are 2 nodes open for non-members and 7 for members,
 membership cost $25 a year, and includes membership in 'the game'.

 The number is (703) 239-8993.

 Tell them Dave Breeding (M0103) sent you...
