    Hey Y'all..

    Just a one time post to hopefully bring more bbs callers to our hobby.

    Doc's Place BBS has been online since 1991 and was one of the first internet bbses when dial up bbses were going offline.

    http://www.was-ist-fido.de/doks/fnews/fido1733.txt

    A post similar to this one back in 2000 revived a dead board, and I'm hoping
    to attract new callers.

    We offer the complete Fidonet backbone. Access Doc's Place BBS by the web at bbs.docsplace.org or via Telnet on port 26.

    We also offer QWK via web browser. Just set your web qwk areas and download
    the generated packet. Uploading your rep packet works the same way.

    Check us out when ya get a chance.. :)

    Don't Shoot.. I'm only the messenger!!

    To which Drew Klenotic replies...

    Maybe you should spread these out? It's bad enough the BBS promotion
    echos are the same BBS's over and over.

    Trust me, posting this in every echo on the same day just makes it
    annoying. Right now I'm irritated because I know I'm going to see this
    at least a half dozen more times.

    and it isn't doing them a bit of good, either...

    In some areas it's the only post I've seen for months. At least it shows that it's still there.
