I think I figured something out. Tim hasn't been on the list for a while, and no bot noise. Tim gets on the list, we get bot noise. The bot's listening for Tim. Cheers, Bob At 6:52 am -0400 on 7/7/97, Anonymous wrote:

An interesting observation. Indeed, I've been down in LA and San Diego for the past 5 days. Did the Vulisbot stop posting during my absence? My vague recollection is that the bot had been quiescent for some time prior to my trip down south, and I had been (vaguely) ascribing this quiescence to the problems Vulis has said he is having with his normal computer. If the Vulisbot is triggered by my posts (but fortunately is limited to only one or so per day, not to each of my N posts per day), I don't plan to stop posting just to save you all the halfwit of whomever is responsible. --Tim May There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.

Tim, I'm not having any "problems" with bwalk (the only computer with the modem - others are in no way connected to the internet for security reasons) I've replaced OS/2 on it by Windows 95. I'm going to add some more hardware before I add NT 4.0. I think it's sort of a change for the better. (I still have W95, Linux, and OS/2 on other boxes.)

Sorry to hear of your downgrade. :(

Downgrade it is. I was planning to migrate this one to NT, but NT won't install without some hardware changes, so I settled for W95 for now. I still have another box running OS/2. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

Couldn't ya get the NSA to spring for a copy of BSD? ;) Even a low-budget operation should be able to afford a free OS!

And to think they gave you a Ph.D ;-)....

Well, it's in math, not comp.sci. :-)

You think moving from OS/2 to Win95 is a change for the better? Must be good shit, Did you bring enough for everyone?

We had a greateful dead concern 1 block from us last week - weed was just lying in the street afterwards.

But, to be quite honest (and people who know me will know just how much I hate to give any form of praise to Micro$oft), Win95 isn`t really that bad just for web browsing and mail, but I use linux anyway because I like procmail and it is convenient to have the OS running when I want it instead of having to reboot.

My plan was to move this box from OS/2 to NT, but NT wouldn't install, so I'm keeping W95 on it until I get around modernizing the hardware. I think the best policy is to have "1 of each". --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps

I'd say that is a problem.

Bwalk seems to work fine. I still have OS/2 on one more box. (The idea was that I wanted to have NT (I don't have it now), and figured I'll use the box that's not good for anything anyway.) This whole silly thread reminds me of a joke which I partially forgot. Basically, a bunch of women are asked, suppose you're stranded on a little uninhabited island, and you see a ship full of sex-starved men. (Or something like this.) They all give different answers, and the blonde says: "I understand the situation, but I fail to see a problem." --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
