	We have setup a new help system.  This help system is HTML based and
runs on the Lynx browser.  Right now there isn't much there yet, just a few
simple help topics with brief information, but we will be adding more as
time permits.  To access the help system use the (HELP) command at any
prompt in the menu shell.

	We are currently trying to re-connect to the message networks that
we offered before.  Currently we are only setup with Intelec but we will be
getting Fidonet, STN, Bluenet, Guildenet, and Adventure Net.  As of right
now you willl not have access to any of these message bases or netmail.  We
are using a DOS mail tosser to toss all of the echomail.  It is using the
JAM message base and I don't know of an editor under linux that supports
this.  We are looking into writting a mail reader/editor under linux for the
message areas.  Once completed the message areas will be open again.  To
check on the progress of this join The Board's (DEV)elopment forum.

	We are having some more problems with our incoming internet
connection.  It has been down for two days now and a time has not been given
as to when it will be fixed.  Should happen today or tommarrow hopefully.

	We changed the mail editor from pine to a program called mutt.  We
were having some problems getting pine to work correctly over a telnet
connection and mutt offers us alot more in the of configurability.
Mutt(Mail Reader), JED(Editor), and Lynx(Web Browser) run on the same
interface library.  Because of this they all have similar interfaces.  This
will allow users to get use to the look and feel of the system alot easier.
We are working on setting up user definable options for all of these
programs.  When complete the options will be availible from the (SETUP)
command.  For more info and to check on the progress of this join The
Board's (DEV)elopment Forum.

	Well the internet connection as working as normal again.  We also
have installed a new version of CircleMUD.  We will be creating a custom
world for the game as we get time to do so.

	We had some problems with Monolith today.  As of right now we are
unable to update are IP address so we are currently inaccessable to the
internet.  There main server went down but it should be back up soon, so
hopefully by tommarrow we will be back up and running again.

	We've just added the (@X0EPAGE@X0F) sysop command to the menu shell.  This
will allow you to page me in any menu.  I just wrote this tonight and it's
kind of simple and is probably a little buggy.  Should have the bugs worked
out quickly though.

	Well we just turned things back on again here in Upland, Ca.  Right
now we are only running telnet connections but we will put our dialin line
up as soon as we get the communications server working correctly.  I just
started putting things back together here so it might take some time to get
running correctly.  Plus the software is still under development and will be
for some time to come.
