Hi Doug. I’ve been a subscriber for some time. Watching, listening since being active on packet in the late 80’s thru 2001. I live in Port Ludlow where I would use The PTN node to connect to the digital world. That node doesn’t seem to be there any longer. <br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<div>Can you advise how I can gain connectivity to a node in your network and thus access a bbs for mail?</div>
<br>
<br>
<div><br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<div>Many thanks. </div>
