Indeed... Happy days :-). I was sysop of Protocol BBS in lovely
Horsham, Sussex, UK up until late 1993 or so. Frankly, Fidonet was
more enjoyable than most stuff on the internet if you ask me :-). The
phone bills were a killer though (I was zone gatewaying for Amiganet,
between zone 1 and 4 IIRC (US and Europe, anyway,) so nightly
international phone calls were fairly scary...)
