FIgured, but might have a look.  Just saw something that might be quite topical
to this bbs the other day that was a qwk network.

I remember years ago a few of us wanting to carry the Musiclink which was a qwk
network.  I used to call CHicago, then BOnnie Lambert out in California kludged
together a way to play gateway to fido format, so long as those of us who were
members promised not to provide it to those who hadn't paid their money. I was
mail only at the time she first started doing this so it didn't really apply.
SHe had some bugs in her kludge though and she quit doing it.  I called Chicago
a few times after I started doing the hub thing in eastern IOWa then gave up on
it myself.

THIs was circa 1994-95 iirc.
