Subject: (X)NET users ... anyone?
Just trialing this excellent new version 1.2 software. I'm using NTNET
under win98, soon with a USCC modem board, but testing with TNC2 and
TF EPROMS..... superb.
Anyone else running/testing it? What are your views?

For several years now we are running 2 (X)NET digis:
- the "real" digi with a dual-speed (1k2/9k6) user port and 2
interlinks running under DOS and using "Vanessa" cards
- a front-end to our DPbox BBS, running under Linux
Eventually we want to merge the 2 systems into a single PC running
Linux. We were greenhorns when we started, but got excellent support by
the specialists of http://www.swiss-artg.ch/ Meanwhile I'm acting as
sysop and enjoying (X)NET as a very sysop-friendly digi software. Not
much maintenance work to do under normal circumstances. And it includes
tcp/ip, which some power users are starting to use.

Subject: AOL - TIME WARNER MERGER! Tell the FCC what you think! Direct Link
to FCC here! Sample Comment!.,,.,,...,'',.,.,.,,.,',',.'., 10437508
The AOL - Time Warner merger is about to be approved by the FCC -
BUT - the FCC WILL REQUIRE SOME CONDITIONS! That is Definite!
Will the conditions protect ONLY THE CORPORATIONS or will they
also protect YOU the END USER?
At this point a very small effort on your part can well induce
the FCC to REQUIRE OPEN ACCESS - I.E. NO CENSORSHIP - for the
end user - YOU - as well as outlaw speed capping for people that
upload to USENET or IRC.
PLEASE HELP PROTECT IRC and USENET! SEND THIS LETTER TO THE FCC!
----> This is NOT and EMAIL which will be ignored! <----
This response by you will be an OFFICIAL FILING! It will appear in
the OFFICIAL PROCEEDING as a comment read by ALL THE ATTORNEYS who
are participating in the action, as well as ALL THE FCC COMMISSIONERS!
It will remain there FOREVER as part of the OFFICIAL RECORD of the
AOL - Time Warner merger! With YOUR name on it!
The FCC is on the verge of requiring the protections this letter
asks for. Your letter might PUSH THEM OVER THE EDGE and make the
internet a BETTER PLACE for EVERYONE, INCLUDING YOU!
MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO USENET AND IRC! This letter WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
if there are enough of them received by the FCC. If at least 300
letters are received, we can probably count on the FCC to take decisive
action to prohibit both censorship and speed capping.
1. Copy the letter to a file. You can put it on your letterhead
with MS Word or just use a text file. You can make any change to
the letter you want, or add any comment you have. CHANGES ARE GOOD!
They show you READ THE LETTER and REALLY CARE! If you had a bad
experience with AOL or Time Warner PUT IT IN!
2. go to:
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/websql/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.hts
(This is the official FCC page where electronic filing of petitions
is accomplished)
3. Fill out form
Put your name, Address, Email address, and all other required
information on the form. (Remember this is an OFFICIAL FILING so
the FCC requires this information. It is not published unless you
put it in the letter as well as the form)
Proceeding is
00-30
(this is VERY IMPORTANT, it is the case number of the AOL TIME
WARNER APPLICATION for merger. If you get it wrong, your comment
WILL NOT BE FILED!)
4. Send form.
5. After you send the form, THEN select the filename of the
letter you are sending, and send that.
6. After you send the file, you will receive an official
confirmation of the filing from the FCC.
7. Comment will appear for all to read in about 4 hours
(but won't appear on the weekend.)
8. If you want to see your letter, or read the other submissions,
other letters, the AOL petition, the Disney or Consumer's Union
objections, etc, here is the URL - Its long!

IF YOU LIVE N A FOREIGN COUNTRY and wish to make a comment (This is a
world wide problem) the Cover Sheet will not accept your address. You
can do this: Enter your real name and address including country in
the address lines, but in the STATE box put CA and in the ZIP (first
field) put 90001. Ignore the 2nd zip field. Ignore the 2nd form, and
TYPE your SHORT COMMENT in the 3rd form. Please identify the country
you live in the message. Don't use the sample letter supplied
because it isn't appropriate for non-US residents.
***>Remember the FORM INFORMATION will NOT appear, only the letter.
NOTE: There is NO WORD WRAPPING on the letter below, to make it
