Hello All,
This is probably a silly question but here goes:
Are the Nets hosted by Gert Andersen (FamilyNet, SysOpsTechNet, Justanet, AdventureNet, etc) on KofoBBS all dead now? Anyone picked up the hosting for any?

Thanks

To my knowledge, all of Gert's networks are dead, and many were dead before
he took them over.

All dead. Linuxnet was picked up but then dead again. I don't remember
if Retronet and Pinet were his. They're on life support just like most networks.

Thank you. I just wanted to be sure.

Hub for Pinet still is offline for me. I tried getting access to another hub for Pinet to no avail.

Thanks for the information.

I was feeding it to someone for a while but, as I was not getting traffic
from the hub, there weren't really many messages to feed to them. ;)

Thanks but my hub was the Canadian HHub, necrobbs, Dave Vandermeer. Maybe Gary will hook me up with his system.
