Yeh, Chuck lives down the road a few miles from us, My Pops does some deck and other work for him once in a while. Smart fellow there.

Slmr I used a couple of times, but not much.. For system mail and groups we finally went to D-bridge, and worked like a charm.

I had a teleflora merch. acct up until like 3 yrs ago

I also remember when Excal came out, I thought it was cool as shit. We ran worldgroup also on Major bbs and it was cool too.

I didnt know the Bakersfield crew... only the SLMR Canadians. The doors were back then was scripts are to this business. And as I recall there were some hacks dropping to dos from Doorway as well.

Chuck Foresburg and Ward Christiansen were 2 very smart guys. You have to wonder what kind of brain it takes to develop the 2 major modem protocols and I think Ive seen Zmodem still being commerically used to this day.

Excal was a great idea.... they just never did finish developing it it and righfully so as I recall the last plug in I bought for it was an extension to jump out on the web and port the first rev of html code back thru the BBS.

I recall using DBridge for a while to toss some fido and QWK packets and I think it was supposed to port uuci/uuco packets over the the message base format.

I ended up using Ed Hopper out of Plano,Texas and his utility to move those newsgroups and net mail around. Robert Vostreys was a good friend of mine so he were constanly refining the abilities of QWK packets.

I guess RSS feeds on message boards are as close as we will ever get to an offline mail reader again.
