Ok they should have been with a info .inf instead you would mean it. There is
this there is in total of 71-72M and then 2 right so big files I working with
and then is there no more data addin files for AA25A.
The last 2 files will I not do other thing for send out by a inf files for and
the real files as zip will I place to be download from my system.

JK>And many people in Fidonet do not have that kind of bandwith.
Correct as it is around 2mbit to 10mbit, my self has 20/2 - 20mbit download and
2mbit upload, self if i have asked my isp and they has told med that I could
get 30/3 or 50/5 will it not do any for me than my normal working bandwidth
will stay as 20/2 by the way my internet connection is done and work. If got
another internet settings and connection could my bandwidth be made to up to
fiber connection with 100/100 to 500/500 now, but I can only stay with 20/2 for
the way my isp setting is done.
JK>And the old gamesnet files were FULL of viruses and Trojans, don't you
JK>remember? We ended up deleting MOST of them. Finally I deleted all of
JK>them. A waste of time back then.
Yes and there was no real way of getting them all checked fine through, I was
the Danish RC for GamesNet then and self if I in 2 years was out any
connections and just has deal with my that time fidonet link there too was my
link in Gamesnet, so that time as long he still was in fidonet got I home to
once a week with 6-7 tapes for backup, and I have my fido and GamesNet mail on
tape to him and he got mail from and all waiting fido and Games to me been then
copied on to my tapes. My link hastehn ISDN and I had V34 56K modem, when my
fido link stopped I stopped too in fido for a year and just only had my system
and bbs running to let it be weekly updated with new files. then got in to miss
fidonet and found out that to fido RC were still the one there one the same as
I know that I stopped andwere Kaare Olsen, contact him on get back in fido with
my old akas, and by a new modem now there run isdn, and I then run Windows 2000
on 2 computers.
JK>Gert, there are too few LINUX sysops to send out these files. Don't do
JK>it again.
I shoudl more here make 2 .inf files the last linux games and for Windows +
MAC, there is 2 Addon back AA25A.
Take care,
Gert
