- Iceman,
-
- Roman is known in Toronto for continuously going off topic. He's been
- banned from several conferences on PCPN for this fact, and you are not the
- first one to complain.
-
- Anyways.
-
- Pay no mind to him. BTW, he doesn't sell the software, but he does enjoy
- talking about how great it is.

- Roman,
-
- IMOSHO, PC-Punternet is a DEAD PROGRAM. The conferenece/network is dead
- as a doorknob, the 6502-Programmers Forum has been activeless for about 2
- years now, and the Commodore 64 & 128 confs get no activity (c64=2
- messages/week, c128=2 messages/month!)
-
- PCPN is dead. The ONLY hope such an aging network has, is to jack into
- the internet through gateways, allowing the usenet to spread through it's
- conferences.
-
- This work was done by Scott M. I believe, who was also responcible for
- implementing the ZModem protocol.
