With all due respect, BjФrn, unless FidoWeb were able to do reverse time travel, it would not have made any difference whatsoever; it would have *still* arrived past 20hrs UTC. Without internet service FidoWeb wouldn't have worked either. :) And in reality, 9 minutes transit time to destination via 3 or 4 systems isn't really horrible IMHO.
