Well, while you people are forming your committee; one thing I'd like to see formed as some sort of standard is an ADEQUATE graphics/windowing systems for BBSes and low-bandwidth systems. IE, something that could actually work over 2400 baud (or maybe even 9600, since 2400 is probably headed the way of the 300 baud modem...) I'm tired of being restricted in not being able to utilize graphics and meeses (plural of mouse) (*my* plural of mouse :-) on the various platforms that exist out there, and I don't relish the idea of making a front end for all those bloody platforms. Just to reiterate, the key is low-bandwidth... I'll save my X-Windows ideas for Ethernets and 56k+... Andy
