EXEC-PC BBS?

Connection timed out. I'm not going to say "yes", but from my viewpoint it certainly looks that way. If it has died then I'd suggest someone contacts ExecPC to assess the prospects of buying the machine and the data stored on its hard drive(s). If someone wants to resurrect ExecPC, I'd be happy to mirror the filebase on one of my servers - I *know* there's a spare 8GB drive around here somewhere... Personally, I'd like to know what happened to the guy who wrote the "ASPHYXIA VGA Trainer" series. He went by the handle "Denthor" and usually signed each message off as "Grant Smith". There were two BBSes that hosted the VGA Trainer, IIRC - the Connectix BBS and the "ASPHYXIA BBS", both in .za IIRC. I've got articles #1-#21, but not #22 :( Unfortunately the long-distance charges to .za would be a little prohibitive just to see if a BBS was still alive. If anyone's interested, there were two phone numbers for the BBS - +27-31-765-5312 and +27-31-765-6293. Connectix was +27-31-266-9992.
