I'll get that AmiExpress up on the site over the weekend. As for message 
net's -
I never understood that in the past, you mean Fidonet? Funnily enough, I was
checking out such possibilities a couple of weeks ago, so yeah I'm 
interested -
depends on the load it puts on the Amiga. I'm 6mb fast, 2mb chip - I'll 
study the
/X guide soon and see what it says.
