# Telecomm Update

The ZX81/TS1000 family has traditionally been relegated to the “backwaters” of various BBS’s and communications services. Not any more! We now have a sub-board solely devoted to ZX programs and other files. The SYSOP of the Nicolson Nightime Network has allowed me to set up the “ZX-TERM Exchange” within the framework of his BBS. The board is free; you WILi NOT be called back collect to “verify” that you are who you say you are when you log on.
