Logged in to the BBS. Do not see an infopack available to download. Tried to list the message areas as indicated on a menu, but it did nothing. Don't really want to complete an online application until I can see more about the network. Can you put a "backbone.na" type file and the application up for download?

No biggie, just wanted to make you aware - in case there was a mistake.

I think the "bbs" part of the domain name shouldnt be there?
ie: just thebytexchange.com

I am trying to find a subtle keystroke error becaus I can get it ping, and show registry etc... Which is odd because I critically looked at what you type and it seems accurate

I think somebody pointed out that the domain is "thebytexchange.com", not "thebytexchangebbs.com"... right?

(The former does answer a telnet call...)
