A 30 site network!!  c'mon now Pro-Line offers almost 90 PRO-LINE sites! not
just "hubbed across the US." like Ugg-Net, but around the world!! with actual
Pro-Line sites in Austraila, Germany and Japan. These 90 sites do not include 
the UUCP, BITNET, ARPA, INTERNET, FIDO, or People-Net gateways.
I have also had the BEST support from Morgan Davis (author) and my fellow
Pro-Line Sysops from around the world.  I don't think I could have found a
better home than Pro-Line!!
