Greg, I got them from Pete Norloff's excellent OS/2 BBS, which you can
access over the Internet if you are running Ray Gwinn's SIO and VMODEM
virtual com port (it is really pretty easy to set up).  If you have those,
then you bring up a program like Zoc, configured for the virtual com port,
and do ATDT bbs.os2bbs.com and you get in over the Internet just like
you would have if you dialed.   Suddenly dozens of BBSs all over the
country are accessible at the cost of a local call to my (unlimited time)
Internet provider!  :-)

I have RXTT17.zip and could be induced to upload it to hobbes if the
author hasn't already done so.  (Wasn't in my recent 00indexd.txt!)
