Yes my machine is fast with a Intel MMX200 cpu and I do have 3
TNC's and I do forward to 5 other BBS and I do get guys from Croatia using
my bbs via the Gateway. I have a telnet link to my node but not to Xfbb. I
have no-one that wants to get forwards by telent yet.

And yes it IS amazing what you can do with Linux. It is also
amazing how much there is to learn about Linux! There is a place well
below the level you are at Tomi, that a single user can get to with
difficulty that is "nice". You are happy with it and it works for you much
better than DOS or win-98 can.

I will look up in the file of fbb messages and see if I find an
idea. One fellow had what he called a "dummy" netrom node. I did not
understand that but never studied it either.
