Whitaker" <> Subject: CRYONICS: Cryonics BBS? 20 March 1992/372pno Last year, when I was still living in the U.S., I logged on several times to the BBS of Joe Dumanov, who had devoted a large section of the board to cryonics coverage. He was setting up a cryonics "echo" for networking messages to cooperating BBSs in the nearby region, around New York and New Jersey, and seemed to be doing well. Living in England now, I don't use anything but CompuServe and AMIX. So, I've dropped out of touch with Joe. Has anyone here checked his "New Worlds BBS" out? The number is 201-729-9538, and supports speeds up to 9600 bps, as of last year. I would really be interested to know from any readers here how it might be making out, and what new network connections have been made to it. Freedom, immortality, and the stars, Russell E. Whitaker Communications Editor AMIX: RWHITAKER EXTROPY: The Journal of Transhumanist Thought Board member, Extropy Institute (ExI) [ Russell, I log onto Joe Dumanov's BBS about once a week. He actually has two phone numbers (201) 729-9538 for 9600 baud and (201) 726-0038 for 1200/2400 baud. (Both are N-8-1 and, yes, they really are on different exchanges: 729 and 726.) His cryonics conference is echo-mailed to some local BBS's but I haven't heard of any success yet getting it on the Sound-of-Music BBS, which is the big hub in Long Island. Joe has offered his PCBoard Cryonics setup free to anyone who already has a registered version of PCBoard and wants to set up a Cryonics Conference. (Message #375 first described Joe's offer.) FYI: His BBS is well-stocked with interesting files and has over 25 conferences. - KQB ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=675
