Once upon a time, Peter William Lees was heard to say:

} i think the best thing to do would be to supplement what we already
} have, ie - boost ftoomsh up as much as possible. with all the things
} people want to play around with (WWW, mud, gopher, etc) it would be
} good to have a decent amount of resources to call upon (waste 8) ).

Yes.

} i think the prime directive of the equipment committee/equipment
} budget should be to get ftoomsh up and running, and at a decent level
} for multiple network connections.

It'd be a good start.

} also - on the modem debate: modems would be a good idea on ftoomsh,
} but not for shell connections - UUCP and/or SLIP/PPP would be better,
} as these facilities are harder to come by for most members, and have
} some interesting technical components that some people like to fiddle
} with.

Somebody hand the lad a banana :^).
