Any info. The who, what, were and when of it. Are the floks on this board? Do I need to go to BIX? Or another board? How do I get in touch? Also Have you heard of a telenet node called PC-Pursuit?

MArk, Not sure what you mean by 'Ar the floks on this board?'. Mat Dillon (I think) is working on DNET, tcp, and probably more for Amiga to Amiga LANing. He is quite active on Usenet. PC Persuit is not so much a node as it is a way of paying a flat rate that gives you access to BBS's in selected cities. I think it's about $25/month. Regards, Larry.

I have heard much about Usenet but do not know how people get connected. Any ideas? Mark

Mark, I am connected through a private system here in Vancouver, but most people seem to go through a business or university. I know the WELL (Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link' is on the net, and you can subscribe to it through PCPursuit. Regards, Larry.

Thanks for the Info. So in you opinion PCPursuit is a good thing. I spend alot of time on BBS's and have had to curtail my Compuserve'ing because of cost. Local BBS's (Colorado Springs) leave much to be desired were it pertains to the Amiga. Hetrick

Mark, I hear a lot of good things about PCPursuit, but I have never used it myself (no local way to do it). There are others here that may jump in with firsthand knowledge. Regards, Larry.
