Actually Charles, let me clarify.  Many of the GBBS segs are buggy. 
However, the only problem it seems that most of the people complaining
that the BBS wont let them in is the knowledge of our US systems.  As
a way to resolve this country problem, the segs can be modified to
allow for a different data set for user logins.  The US set should be
eliminated if it is open to the world.  (Shouldnt take more than 30
minutes to modify to reflect this)

Meanwhile, do keep up the good work.  Glad to see this back online.
