- Is this system located in Rhode Island? If so I know the system personally,
- as I am an occasional users of it although I am not a memeber so I can not use
- the FTp and other Net gizmo's they have connect (and I don't need it esp. for
- $50 a year). Well is this is the same system, as far as I know there are no
- erotic gifs on it, unless it's in some private section. It started out as a
- muilti-dialin BBS running on a VAX (sick huh ;-) then they recently got a
- 19,200 BPS I-Net connection via one of those commercial companies. They carry
- RIME (Relay-Net Internation Message Exchange) conferences which is sort of a
- PC BBS UUCP style network around the world. I dunno if this is the same place
- but they do have the same names. Oh well oh it does not require divulging
- passwords because the SYSADMIN there is the one who takes the FTP requests.
