I dunno about the outside of the US thing, but I do remeber them giving
new meaning to the phrase Snail Mail. If you want really quick responses,
try the NewTek BBS (should be in the LW 3.5 manual: # is 1-913-271-9299).
I know, that's a LOT more expensive call from Scotland, but you'll have a
response within a week at most, more likly 3 days. Just leave the SysOp,
CHuck Baker, some mail. He;a always good at these thing. Hope this helps
(a little...)

BTW, he's been dealing with the upgrade issue recently. you might want to
qwk DL the message base to your system and flip through it a bit. Also,
the BBS is located in Kansas, an the board just recently had a system
crash, so I'd wait a few days before call, as they are supposed to be
going multi-line with better support and new BBS software.
