Right. My problem is that I just switched to PCBoard, so that my callers log 
will start now, although my BBS went up in December of last year, and I 
should be eligible for the modem deal now. (I plan to order it in August.) 
What do you think I should do to prove the age of my board? Put my old 500KB 
callers log up for DLing?

Could you please mail me more info. on those BBS utilities of yours?
