    FamilyNet is shutting down

    The technology is old, the software is old, the equipment is old.

    The system is rebooting every hour...

    It is no longer worth the cost (in time and dollars) to keep the BBS and FamilyNet running, so - I will be shutting down the BBS and the Fidonet Technology FamilyNet network sometime over the weekend (or early next week).

    I want to thank all of the users for their support over the years, as well
    as the Network members that stayed until the end. I pray you have a fruitful life.

    I am going to devote all my attention now to the FamilyNet Internet
    ministry.
