nope -- only on those things which use Wayne's net software. I am on WWIVnet
(thankfully -- I am not subscribed to any subs this Walker character seems to
use) (no, Walker, I'm *not* telling you which ones I am on) via Tony Hursh's
WWCP, which is totally original code. I don't have to send anything to Wayne
to be on WWIVnet. Just have to register with Tony (and, since I'm one of his
main beta-testers, that's fairly easy to deal with....)
