I'm Lars Nilsson. Sort of new (was here for a year
or two two ago, but due to time-constraints couldn't
spend much time here). Well, anyway.. Back to your
regular scheduled posts.

As i'm still very new here, i've only just started looking around the rest
of this bbs. I've noticed many (most) of the message boards haven't been
posted to for months - is it just people r moving to different boards in the
same bbs or is this medium (using telnet or whatever) starting to die out???
?:-(
I hope not 'cause it's so cool :-) also when i log in i type users to c who's
on (+ c if Dave's on) there always seem to be many more people on than
actually seem to be posting what r they all doing + where can i find them!?
+y does it say too many )'s? - i can have as many )'s as i want.

Telnet-based BBS systems in general have experienced far less traffic in the
last few years thanin the heydey, about 5-10 years ago. There are exceptions
out there, but unfortunately, this BBS has been following the trend.

A couple of responses to Mike/lionfish :: first, I hope you'll
peek in at the music conference, which is still pretty lively at times.
A good way to handle a big old conference is with the commands to
browse or read responses since a certain date:
"browse since mm/dd" and "read since mm/dd"

Thanks Ken, I didn't realise u could use the "since" command at the Ok:
prompt. + I'll try to get lots of my friends to use BBS's - although i can
c why http etc have taken ov... a few links is a lot more user friendly. but
this is more fun! :-] (oops nearly forgot the nose in that smiley)... cyall!

You can also do "fixseen all" (or maybe "fix all" or "fix seen all"),
which marks ALL items as read. That allows you to instantly "catch up"

Mike/lionfish :: all of the conferences/discussion forums on Grex
are also available through the web interface, so your friends don't
have to use clunky old telnet to participate. Grex's web page
is at http://www.cyberspace.org

You can also read and participate in Grex's BBS through http. There's a
program called Backtalk that interfaces with PicoSpan and enables web
users to read the conferences. If they have an account, they can also
log in and participate.
Just go to http://www.cyberspace.org/cgi-bin/bt to test it out

Hi I'm Steve and I am new to Grex, but I have been involved with the industry
for years (1960's if anyone remembers blue boxes). But that was a long time
ago. Now I enjoy flying planes sailing and the occasional program.

Hmm... would the real Steve Wozniak have a cable modem? No, I think he'd have
ADSL or a T1 or something.
Of course, "lotus" isn't Steve Wozniak.
He's Steve Wozniac.

Thanks for all the advice + stuff. I'll try it out later. At the moment both
my PCs r lying in peices across the desk,+ i'm writing this on my 486 (14inch)
screen. I'm trying to get a network between my K^ and 486, but i've had sooo
many IRQ problems both pcs r full of cards (PCTV cards 3dg card + VGA card)
2 modems both ISA (annoying) - anyone else telnetting from a computer whicch
is spread across half a room? :-] i need to get it all fixed up by tommorow
so my sis can do her history course work... + I've actually Backed up my HD
- very unusual for me :) anyway: Hope everyon'es enjoying the half-term in
England + the number of shops which already have christmas decorations up is
scary :) - back to work!
