[comp.sys.amiga] BBS Echomail via GT boards

ggibeau@ucqais.UUCP (George Gibeau) (02/05/88)

I am currently running a BBS system under the GT powercomm host
mode.  A unique feature of GT boards is the ability to do
net/echomail conferences.  We get around any great LD costs by
using PC Pursuit (from Telenet).  We currently have nodes
all over the USA, Netherlands, Australia, Canada, and a few others.
I am sure that most of you have a local GT board near you.  As a sysop,
I am interested in setting up an Amiga echomail conferance.  As such,
any board that carries this conf would receive messages from all other
boards also carrying the same conf.  Ie.  you enter a message on a board
in California, and 1-2 days later, your message appears all over the 
world on any other GT board carrying this conf.  I would like to
solicit opinions from people to see if there would be enough interest
from the readers of the newsgroup in such a conferance.  I realize
that it is not the high quality, easy editor usage :-) of
UNIX, but it would still be interesting.  Besides, there is a
whole lot of amiga users (actually "are" a lot of amiga users) out   
there who do not have access to usenet (and yes, that still makes
them human :-) )  Please e-mail me any interest in participating in
such a group.

Thanks,
     George Gibeau
