Hello Ward,

HD> Forgive me if I forget some method ;-).

Indeed
There was a FTSC document for is not it?

WD> Putting the messqge on a USB stick. Driving to where the sysop lives,

WD> Sysop reads message and writes answer, puts answer to USB-stick. Sysop

Wd> answer.

You forget simpel good old 5,25" and 3,5" floppy diskettes.
I donot have USB on my 80486DX UniCorn BBS machine.

But instead of driving 2500 Miles,
the sysop can send the diskettes by airmail or landpost, sometimes seapost.
Here in NL many years ago we had sometime a modemless point exchanging mail
by diskette for some months, because he studied in another city then where his
parents lived. His boss had his BBSystem in the same study town.

Nowadays you could also use a drone as a transport method.
The only problem is the battery capacity for a given distance.
You could see that as a mechanical carrier pidgeon ;-).

Greetings from Henri.
