    Hello All.

    Before HTTP, WWW, JAVA, FlashPlayer, Google, or any of the internet stuff
    people take for granted now, BBSes were moving people's messages and
    files. We still do WITHOUT the spam. We do it without the glitz.
    And - we do it WITHOUT invading YOUR system with JUNK and MALWARE.
    We are real people at the keyboards -- not autoresponder robots!
    Call us when you can't stand the internet junk any more!
