Man, that was livin'.

No one has complained about this from us in years, but when we had

Ran into the Citrix problem a long time ago. Most data programs are
sensitive to dropped packets. The problem with Citrix is that the
packets were small. The program was written to work as a database

As long as we are BBSing, I actually wrote the TIBBSR BBS in the early

I believe that in its heyday, there were over 100 systems running around the
