- He's not but then again, his type is becoming more and more common. WWIVNet in
- general deserves it's reputation as a "kiddie net" in many respects. Then
- again, there are plenty of mature and intelligent system operators and some
- most excellent boards on WWIVneta/Link/Etc....
-
- From the gated newsgroups I've been seeing, there are a fair amount of
- dickheads on usenet too, I guess they're everywhere and often more vocal than

- Well, there is a program (WWCP) that allows Waffle systems to gate into and out
- of usenet/internet. The author is Bitbanger/Tony Hursh and can be reached at
- 1@500 WWIVnet and root@moosevax.cojones.com on usenet/internet.
-
- The software is virtually invisible to the users on each end and it works
- great. It doesn't allow me to gate MY board but I am able to carry newsgroups
- from his waffle board via the WWCP software running on his end.
