Understand. I wouldn't doubt there are some that go back and forth between Bob
and I that don't go to Ross since he's only dealing with what's on backbone.na.
(I think). Not real busy places, but once in a while there might be some
traffic. For the reports I generate for Jon Justvig's Fidonews, I just use
backbone.na to look for traffic in those areas.

Yeah, I'm sure Ron will do something like that.

Nice :) The fellow who owned this house before us had some extensive wiring
done in the computer room which is why I was suprised that darn outlet caught
me in the next room hehe.. There's even a separate breaker box in this
computer room apart from the one in the basement. The house was originally
built in the early 1800's then stripped down and rebuilt sometime maybe 20
years ago..There is a generator here that runs on gas, that we can turn on if
we lose power.. but from I remember Ron telling me, it's really only good for
lights, and the fridge. He said we'd have to get a bigger one to use for the
systems. I'm sure the guy that lived here didn't have as many systems as we
jam in here either Lol.
