No, I haven't subscribed to all of the echoes on this BBS.
At least the last time I checked to see.
Mike Powell, the SysOp of this BBS has more than just the FIDO echoes on
this BBS.
There are at least five other BBS Networks that I can read their messages.
GT_POWER, DoveNEt, MicroLink, IL-Net and FSX Net.
October 2016 is when I first saw messages in my .QWK Packets in FSX Net
echoes.
Mike Joined (or Subscribed) some of their echoes for my account for me then.
Surprise!, Surprise! I got more to read now.

Yes, I knew that You were speaking of Commands running on the SysOps BBS
program.
I'd just never remember seeing those b4.
HG> Maybe you have lost the file where all your settings with the sysop

I never had that file, my settings are on Mikes BBS Machine, I just connect -
enter my password and use His BBS.

HG> Even as any user you can ask for the commands for the program your

I never asked to be a Co-Sysop, even though I have wrote Mike when I thought
I saw a problem while using the BBS.
EV> By 'Host' do You mean a BBS or Echo on the BBS?
HG> The Host is the BBS that delivers the areas you want to read/write in.
I just call a BBS a BBS, don't remember seeing the word Host to mean a BBS.
DUH!
HG> The more surprising to me, is that you passed the free Win10 offer.
EV> Usually I don't leap when I hear about something new to me.
HG> Neiher do I, but when I read/hear something is free, I take note.
I can understand downloading a file/program from a well known Company,
there are a lot of so called Free download offers from others that might
have a catch to it, like Malware - etc., but being offered by Microsoft
would seem to be something safe.........
EV> SP3 is the last major update that it has on it.
HG> Yes SP3 is last update to XP and newer ones will not be forthcoming.
Wcry changed that, didn't it?
