Alan,
That was a really quick reply.

I calculated less than ten minutes from my posting to your reply.

I am in EDT, you're way West of me where the time is earlier.

I got back in to this BBS I in early January and have joined several echos.
I remember your Name from two years back before the DSL quit on me and Fiber didn't work with my XP box.

Been using a Android phone to get my BBS and internet fix.

We just switched to PDT here.

I have been reading you for years, I may not always have a reply but I see you.

I have an android phone as well but I don't use it for BBSing. My other half has a tablet. That might be workable for BBSing but I still use a PC.

I had DSL, but it was giving me problems so I called AT&T.
The Tech came to look at my problem and said there was slowness caused by something at their end.
Tech suggested I should cancel DSL and order Fiber Internet.
I did, Fiber never worked after the Tech who installed the service left when finally a website came up on my notebook.
That site came up after failing to connect to five pages that I tried earlier.

The site that came up on the notebook was att.com .

My XP box had ben moved out so a hole could be drilled in the floor for the fiber cable.
I reconnected the XP box and no pages would load, tried using the notebook and not even the AT&T page would load.
I called and cancelled the service and sent their Router back by UPS

Last year I ordered Fiber again, tried to get a website to show up, failed again, cancelled again.

This January I went to Cricketwireless and became their customer.

Using this Android phone to log on the BBS is slightly difficult but I'm here

As I wrote in some echo earlier, if I can get this thing and the XP to work together I would be happy.

I think You suggested using Bluetooth between those devices and I have been trying to learn where to get what I need to do Bluetooth here.
