On this system the messages appear like a normal BBS but when you comment
in a confrence the message is propogated to the other system and any
comments you make to it there are propogated back maintaining a connection
to the original message.  The increases the number of users on the
confrence as the sum of both systems.   Not all confrences are propogating,
some are kept at a local level since the systems are a few hundred miles
apart.
