     Deversify and live! I see no degradation away from the one-line BBS when
it comes to VA. I've seen a lot of additions and improvements in that area.
The Phone Book, Improvements in the file sections, a better QWK program, VWC
and now VWC documentation, better script language, improvement in the
dropfiles, improvements in the local uploading of files, constant improvements
and fixes in the Fido tosser, fixes to the call back verifier, and much
more... I could go on, but Roland has still been fixing and adding to the
basic BBS package all along. In "addition" he's adding more and more InterNet
stuff for those that want to make their BBS more appealing to callers. Most
Sysops have an InterNet account with an isp anyway... so why not do some
newsgroups using VISK? If one is willing to spend an extra 15-20.00 a month on
the BBS (usually cheaper than networking LD calls), they can add a second
phone line and provide more "stuff" to get users to call.

     Personally, I think this is something that will cause my calls to
increase, matter of fact.. it has.

     Just my opinion
