a copy of v0.58.  It DOES run on the RB (as FIDO-FAM v.5 refused to).  But
it seems to do flakey things.  Have you used most features successfully (sort,
move, etc.)?

What's a Rainbow.  Is it an Operating System or what.  We just got a new
echo on this board which is this one and don't know what Rainbow is.

%  David, are there any limitations on use of these gateways? Like who
%can use them, what nets can they reach, or the maximum size of a single
%message? And what's David Dodell's net address? Is he castle.fidonet.org
%when viewed from the other size of things?

There is a policy agreement for the operation of these nodes, but I do
not have a copy yet.  David Dodell's address is in the nodelist I am sure.
I  do not know it off of the top of my head.  Unless I am told otherwise,
you can  send netmail (host-routed please - I am not CM) to me and I will
automatically  put it into UUCP.  Mail coming from UUCP will automatically
be routed through  the correct gateway into FidoNet.  Tell me where you are
and I can recommend a  closer gateway too.

The PC27XAH board was advertised in Newman's October catalog for $195. You
might give them a try @(313)994-3200 from 8:00am to 7:00pm EST; or maybe
George Dahlco can get it for you cheaper.

   No thanks. I have use of several mainframes with connections to BITNET
and the Internet. But I suspect others in this Echo would appreciate
seeing a list of gateways thru which they could route mail to BITNET,
the Internet, and UUCP. Can you dig this nodelist up and post it here?
