- There are some alternatives. You could try most of the
- Fidonet BBS boards, many of which carry Linux stuff.
- Or you could call (he says modestly) my bbs
- (UNIX USER BBS) which is (at least for now) free
- at (708)879-8633. It's a little behind at the
- moment, but I'm hoping to get caught up on things
- this weekend, maybe putting up patch level 2 if
- Linux gets it out in time for me to do it. Otherwise
- next week.
