 NB>> Yes, that is a blessing... :) I noticed that the bbs stayed up... :)

Ah... you are well prepared for just about anything then... :)

 NB>> Bbs question, btw... For a while now, the weather report at login has

I saw that you had done that for me...  I did check in there to see how
things were set.  One place that still flies by for me, too fast to be
seen, is the listing of what the slash commands are... 

Do you have any way on the bbs to telnet into weather underground to
check the weather for other areas...?  One bbs that I've been using for
that has been down the last few days, maybe they lost power there...
another seems to have it, but it doesn't work for me there...
