That is awesome.  This system is LinFBB and it does
forward to another BBS at my work.  It does see an
occasional local user here, but it is not super active.
I think the WWW kind of took the place of the fun
and excitement of packet radio.  I still think it
is cool because I am relying on my own infrastructure.
