They are half the reason GREX has the flavour it has. I like chatting with
folks from cultures I've never visited (and probably never will.) GREX gives
everyone here that chance. Cool, eh?

Fine, you chat with them. I want my .yeswrite.
Also, I really don't like the feel of the MOTD with the announcements that
are now there. It just seems all wrong.

if the indian population learns about stuff in their country from the
motd on grex ..... excellent. how much finer of a planet-community service
could we provide? and, as pointed out in anotehr item, earlier,
re-socialization is extrordinarily valuable contribution as well.

I'd also like a .yeswrite rather than being completely anti-social while
conferencing - but that's another subject.

(aside: the one-line BBS sounds a lot like the humble beginnings of
M-Net, in 1982. Maybe India can come up to our level in < 14 years.)

I don't suppose that EI bbs has a telnet address, eh?
It would be nice to visit our neighbors on their own turf ;-)

I agree, I'd be curious to check it out! Unfortunately, it sounds
too costly at the moment. I think the gov't-granted Internet monopoly
expires in another three or four years. Hopefully the market will be
opened up then. Until then, I doubt they'll have free, donation-
supported systems like Grex.

Given the very large population of CAlcutta, and the very small number of
dialup lines on that BBS, I'd encourage them toospend their mopney on
increasing the local dialups, for now at least.
