PLEASE UPLOAD FILES TO BBSs: In posting this list I would like to point out that a large number enthusiasts don't have FTP access. In fact it is possible that by now most of the Linux fans don't. So I would like to suggest that those of us that do, find at least one BBS to post the Linux files to. I, for one post every file that I get to at least one of the local BBSs, and from there they the files tend to find there way to other local BBSs. I've seen posts about the future of Linux etc., well here is a way to help guarentee it. I think it's safe to assume that most people with FTP access also have a modem. So how about doing other Linux fans a favor and finding a BBS to upload the Linux files to.

    2 -- The basic's and a little more
    3 -- So, so
    4 -- A respectable amount
    5 -- Pretty much everything you need

    YYY -- Either a Yes/No/? answer to the question
    |||
    ||Free access to Linux files
    |Allow file requests (FidoNet)
    First time D/L of Linux related files

File Requests:
  A FidoNet BBS with the right type of front-end mailer can call other
Fido BBSs and request their  mailer to send them files that they want.
All this can be done automatically. File Requests (FREQS) are basically
the FidoNet equivallent to UUCP.
