Aye. Though I never really got involved in it ... just leeched files because it was a local call away. The one I spent most time on was a BBS called Evaware, somewhere down south. That BBS died when Nick's (the guy who was running it) wife left him because he was spending all his time on the BBS. :) My first real taste of the Internet was a BBS in Grangemouth (who's name I can't remember ... it began with an 'A' too I think) which offered a month's free Internet access when they first setup the gateway. Though I didn't realise it at the time, it was just a Unix shell prompt with access to gopher, FTP, lynx, a newsreader and a mailreader. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wossname.org.uk/~mathie/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------
