Here is a link that mentions the LINK TO 'message' - wow 1987 era !

    to work properly.

And how funny is this, ZERO RETRIES (newsletter by Steve Stroh N8GNJ) :

      https://www.zeroretries.org/p/zero-retries-0116

There is a link to a PDF in there about the old TEXNET system, lots of

Some holiday reading perhaps, had no idea about this, I was still midway
through university and it would be years later before I got into amateur
