Hey Bud,
I have a spare machine down here in Polk County and would like to get =
your help
or help from Chuck / Gary on getting a "BBS" / NODE / wide area network =
setup.
I have talked to Joe (ke4wdp) and he says there is this network called =
INI???
which is an open network, which is something we all would like to have =
since
we are going to have a local node, and a SEDAN node in the county.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
