        Fido is far from dead. In fact, some sysops have claimed an increase in
their user base since the Internet got rolling. I've been running a Fido
BBS since 1989, and I've got no intention of stopping anytime soon.

        I have a wide assortment of BBS software oriented towards DOS-based
systems. My pacakge of choice is RemoteAccess 2.01. If there's someone on
the list who needs the software, just say so and I can file-attach the
pieces to them in an E-mail message.
