here I made a slight mistake in my decision... :(
after all, it was a deep night...:). and it turns out
that the sysop will die anyway... :) by the way,
we get a maximum of 1000 seconds per station per day. This is mail, file-echoes and
echo-conferences. plus you won't be able to get through to the hub... :)
