Same here, but setup is a bit different.  I at least like the WWIV docs.

Aiiieeeee!!!!  Gotcha ;-)

Same here sorta.  I mostly have to limit my hobby search for BBS tools
to Windows stuff because my husband needs simple WIN stuff.  He's a good
man but not computer literate.  Swapping the main machine at home to
SuSe 9.0 was easy with it's dual boot, but getting Don to use *NIX is a
whole nuther thing....
