- Okay, now that there are two QWK readers out there, what in whe world
- are these used for? I gather frm bits and pieces that there are some
- BBS systems out there that allow downloading of e=mail, and offline
- reading, and then responding to these messages, the new mail then
- being uploaded back to the BBS system, thus saving online time and money.
- Okay, so what BBS systems use this? Does anyone have a list that would be
- of particular interest to us 8 bit users?
- Are there QWK supporting BBSes that are also linked to the Internet,
- allowing sending/receiving of Internet e-mail and possibly access to
- USENET groups such as comp.sys.atari.8bit?
-
- I'm an enquiring mind, and I guess i want to know.
