I don't beleive that anyone has mentioned the fact that it is possible
to verify users messages before unleashing them onto the board. CBBS
(Ward & Andy's program) supports this feature. I'm not advocating this
as I'm sure there are types of boards in the USA which are better
totally open.

An interesting fact over here in the United Kingdom is that the
telephone company must approve the modem and the use of the line for
Data comms. We have yet to enter this sort of dimension, as the boards
here tend to be of a technical, or, for sale nature.

I sincerely hope that Tom can get his system back very soon
