  Is this system located in Rhode Island? If so I know the system personally, 
as I am an occasional users of it although I am not a memeber so I can not use
the FTp and other Net gizmo's they have connect (and I don't need it esp. for 
$50 a year). Well is this is the same system, as far as I know there are no
erotic gifs on it, unless it's in some private section. It started out as a
muilti-dialin BBS running on a VAX (sick huh ;-) then they recently got a 
19,200 BPS I-Net connection via one of those commercial companies. They carry
RIME (Relay-Net Internation Message Exchange) conferences which is sort of a
PC BBS UUCP style network around the world.  I dunno if this is the same place
but they do have the same names. Oh well oh it does not require divulging
passwords because the SYSADMIN there is the one who takes the FTP requests.
