Hey everyone,

Just wanted to drop a quick note to express how happy I am to have found this still running after all these years. I'm sure it's on a VM by now and that's why it's so snappy, but oh my goodness, how awesome is this retro.

My son, who is almost 30 now, is also in the tech field (like me) and we were chatting the other day over some coffee. I was going on about the good 'ol days in the 80's and early 90's where all the magic was happening in tech. When people were pioneers with wild ideas.

He was making general statements about how todays tech is full of features that never existed before and I was telling him that we had all that back then too - nothing has really changed, just improved. We had chat rooms, online shopping, online games, weather, news and more. He didn't believe it, so I showed him a screen shot of some old Prodigy adn CompuServe internet stuff and he was stunned.

I then took things a step further and downloaded the SyncTerm to see if there were still any BBS's still around and found you guys.

What a throw back. Thanks for staying around and being a pretty active community. I will be here on the daily checking for new messages and things.

Does anyone know if this server can send email externally?

- Michael
- Thanks,
- Michael

Yeah we did have all that back in the day. I remember doing "online banking" with my bank via Viatel (Australia's viewdata/videotex implementation) - it was pretty cool at the time. That was circa 1988.

Mi> Does anyone know if this server can send email externally?

The software can, depends on if the sysop has set it up.

My install can - I even having mailing lists caming into it...
