- there are presently three other Support Boards (Each with their own
- expertise) which you may call:

- just find out what the latest is with Express. Individual Support
- SysOp's have a similar policy but may vary. In any event you are not

- They may grant you limited access to their BBS or no access. It is
- their decision to make.
