===========================================================================

 There in Frontline there's now two nodes runnin' under Desqview.

 That there TSR proggie from Osmo is powered up, and the other node
should answer to telnet with that there Internet Collection.

 Yeah, I should've my drivers workin' also...

 Allright, so if the copper ain't broken there, then I'd bet ye
can get in through that.

 Allright, let's try it then.

 Telnet connect, address ten dot zero dot zero dot one...

 YEAHH!!

 Seems the packets get transported all the way to the board proggie.

 This NCSA telnet proggie seems to suck slightly with them ansis,
seems not supportin' colors at all.

 And wonder if it's got any file transfer support even?

 But we might maybe find some better proggie too. Any recommendations?

myXTer: Well, if you boot up to Linux, at least it supports colors in the console...

dArK sTuFfEr: Yeah, should just come up with a Linux driver for that Osmo gear first.

dArK sTuFfEr: Or if I'd net up the Amiga, then I guess this stuff is implemented there much better than on the peecee...

JUSSI: We get it that yer enchanted by that there Amiga even if ye dinna repeat all the time how it's s'posed to be better than peecee!!

myXTer: Right, and you should also remember what Osmo said about that mouse interface and how it ruins you...

dArK sTuFfEr: Well, I believe that Amiga's a kind of exception to the rule, elite despite having a graphical interface by default...

myXTer: And I'm sure we're gonna get colors workin there in time even with peecee, and the most important thing are the phone bill saves anyway!!

myXTer: We got the Frontline phonebill once again, by the way...

JUSSI: Yeah, guess we should put in some more of them pay-levels, so that we'd use 'em to pay the phone costs.

dArK sTuFfEr: That'd of course be tuffest ever if we'd get CWUnet and Frontline connected to a fixed radio Internet link.

JUSSI: Yeah, Osmo did tawk aboot sumthang like that.

myXTer: It's just a bit problematic that the board machine is a 286 and proper operating systems would require that 386...

dArK sTuFfEr: Wonder if IP networks would work better with something like Minix than with Dos or Desqview?

myXTer: Well, at least there's no hope getting PCBoard run on Minix, so that'd be a plain Unix shell then.

JUSSI: But before plannin' anythang else, would we now bring these proggies to Kassu also, now that they work even?

dArK sTuFfEr: No hurry yet, I've got sumthang else to tawk aboot with ye first.

JUSSI: Ye mean whatta?

dArK sTuFfEr: Now, this is a secret just between us, and especially ye shouldna tell Mega aboot it...

JUSSI: Y'all fellas have clearly conspired sumthang! Lemme hear then.

dArK sTuFfEr: Well, we released that there Firemania demo of ours with the name "cHAOS wORLD uNKNOWN"...

dArK sTuFfEr: Now we've been reckonin' that it could be a real secret crew we could use to displace Mega!

JUSSI: And ye would be the leader of that crew?

dArK sTuFfEr: Yeah.

JUSSI: Well, at least I'm givin' ye the condition that there has to be naw satan-worshippin' there! And naw other zealotry either.

dArK sTuFfEr: Not even Christian zealotry?

JUSSI: Yeah, preferably that neither. Why are ye askin', have ye turned to Christianity yerself?

dArK sTuFfEr: I ain't for the fuck's sake! I'm just reckonin' aboot what yer religious standing might be right now.

JUSSI: Well, I've been reckonin' aboot turning into an atheist once I can legally resign from the church!

dArK sTuFfEr: Can't ye turn any sooner?

JUSSI: Well, of course I can unofficially be an atheist even if I'd officially be an Evangelical Lutheran a few years still...

dArK sTuFfEr: Goddamnit, what yer in reality is exactly what's goin' on in yer head and not what's standin' there in them papers!

JUSSI: Well, anyhow, I'm not that into them Christ zealotries either anymaw. And neither them other superstitions we've got in our family.

JUSSI: Scientific truth is the real truth, and all else is just some bulldunginsh fuss!

dArK sTuFfEr: Now that's exactly what I wanted to hear.

dArK sTuFfEr: I dinna reckon aboot startin' to do any occulties as a crew, we might just prick aroond sumthang as a joke.

JUSSI: Why should we prick aroond even as a joke? And to whom would ye even be prickin'?

dArK sTuFfEr: Have ye noticed that Karelian crew, Wampires?

JUSSI: I might've heard sumthang sumtime...

dArK sTuFfEr: Now they're one totally mindless club!

dArK sTuFfEr: They've got some helluva satan-worshippin'-infofiles and some fuckin' staged shows goin' on at all the message areas...

dArK sTuFfEr: So, if somebody needs some over-the-top parody to see what they themselves look like, then it's they.

dArK sTuFfEr: We could like totally cheat them up and then they'd be all embarrassed and start playin' fools!

JUSSI: Yeah, maybe we could then stage sumthang as a crew, if the purpose would be to get 'em stop their clownin'.

JUSSI: But is that there Ultima cloth on yer fall also some kinda prickin' aboot sumthang?

dArK sTuFfEr: Well, I think it's really cool even though it's half-burnt.

JUSSI: Where did ye find it?

dArK sTuFfEr: It was part of the furniture of the Öökkölä house, hanged on that table by the C.O.P. members...

dArK sTuFfEr: I took it with me from them ruins once the flames had gotten a bit fewer...

JUSSI: Allrighty.

dArK sTuFfEr: We've already got an infofile, by the way.

dArK sTuFfEr: It's basically the same as what we included with Firemania, but we put in some better ascii decorations there.

dArK sTuFfEr: Lemme show it to ye...

JUSSI: HOLY GODDAMN FUCK! Some helluva asciis there...

dArK sTuFfEr: Yeah, Syntetik made 'em and I tuned 'em a bit...

JUSSI: Pentagrams pointing downwards and all that! I mean, I really hope ye fuckin' ain't serious with this...

dArK sTuFfEr: Of course I ain't! The whole infofile is pure prickin'-aroond!

JUSSI: I guess I can stand that very well, temporarily, with some humor... did we also have some kinda fake handles?

dArK sTuFfEr: Yeah, I am kHanatik, Sam is nEopardy, and ye yerself are wArlord...

JUSSI: Bwahahah! Sounds great! Yeah, I'm in!

dArK sTuFfEr: Cool stuff! Let's now summarize the situation.

dArK sTuFfEr: Only the three of us know the truth aboot Chaos.

dArK sTuFfEr: Kassu and Mega reckon we're some crew from Kouvola. And that should remain as their impression.

dArK sTuFfEr: Afore that we should still grow our membership with schistic, and SYnTETiK DaRKNeSS, and DiCKiNSTASiA, who also get that kinda fake-cool Chaos handles.

JUSSI: D'ye reckon they'd agree?

dArK sTuFfEr: Well, I've had some preliminary chats with 'em...

dArK sTuFfEr: But anyway, after that the only CWU board outsid Chaos would be Kassu's board.

dArK sTuFfEr: In the Internet we've already got everything in our control, 'cause the bots at #cwu are from me and Sam.

JUSSI: How did that last Friday's Hönttölä meeting go, by the way?

dArK sTuFfEr: Oh, yeah, right. Well, Mega declared there a total war against them there Rauno and Mikael.

dArK sTuFfEr: And ye maybe guess that the war's gonna get worse, based on what happened on today's computing class.

JUSSI: We'll see what's that becomin'...

JUSSI: Surely that there Rauno sucks a total arse for lyin' to the kids aboot everythin' he's not knowin', but could we just let him be in peace?

dArK sTuFfEr: Yeah, it might be possible to be a prick to him in a more constructive way than braggin' aboot one's scene fame.

dArK sTuFfEr: And, oh, then he was also pissed off 'cause they dinna find that there Kerttu doll at Korhonens!

dArK sTuFfEr: They had to sit two hours drinkin' coffee with Kalle and Veera, all for nuffin...

JUSSI: Yeah, they can really take them there coffees calmly. Wonder what he'd be doin' with that there doll if he got it?

dArK sTuFfEr: Maybe wank at it...

JUSSI: Bwahahaha! That'd be so like Mega!! He's like the most two-faced fella ye can find!

dArK sTuFfEr: He did ask me to make a similar doll of Janetzu. So, yeah, the superstitions are quite strong here now.

JUSSI: Shootin' himself in the foot quite well by concentratin' on such woo-hoo thangs... 'twas really a good idea to leave that crew!

dArK sTuFfEr: Yeah, we won't be lookin' at that kinda steamheadness on Chaos' side! We're just prickin' aroond with all the superstitious folks!

JUSSI: Yeah, I've gotten to see a lot of superstition... even in my own family. Wonder if I should tell y'all one thang...

dArK sTuFfEr: Oh, what's that?

JUSSI: Then y'all shouldna ever fuckin' tell this one forward or I'm gonna stab y'all!

JUSSI: It's like our family secret that I'm now tellin' to y'all, confidentially!

dArK sTuFfEr: Allrighty.

myXTer: Yeah, we won't tell it.

JUSSI: Well...

JUSSI: So, even though my daddy always said that he'd quit all the witchcrafts my grampa's been doin', he's actually still doin' 'em...

JUSSI: Just in secret... we've got a forest granary where he goes to offer whitefish and he once even offered a rabbit!

dArK sTuFfEr: I mean for the fuck's ake! I wouldna have believed that at all! He's kept that secret really well.

JUSSI: Yeah, he's got some real Evangelical Lutheral staging, and behind that he's doin' some total witchcraft in secret.

JUSSI: All kindsa superstitious zealots are always that kinda two-faced folks!

JUSSI: I'm not a shitworth interested aboot any kinda zealotry anymaw!

dArK sTuFfEr: That kinda secrets spread quite well in this village even if the cover fails even slightly.

dArK sTuFfEr: That there shadow village meeting is also supposed to be a secret thing in principle, but everbody's heard aboot it.

dArK sTuFfEr: So, we should prepare ourselves to that Chaos won't remain secret but two months at most maybe.

myXTer: I think it's underway right now...

JUSSI: Who's there in that meeting?

dArK sTuFfEr: Well, at least my parents and Sam's parents, and then Osmo is usually there also, and at least Vornanens too.

JUSSI: Are they also plannin' to make a revolution in this village? Displace the official village association?

dArK sTuFfEr: I'm not really that sure what they've been' plannin'.

dArK sTuFfEr: But based on what I know aboot that there Taisto, he would surely wanna do like a Communist revolution in this village.

JUSSI: We won't be tryin' to get to Communism in Chaos' name then, even as a joke, right?

dArK sTuFfEr: We fuckin' won't for sure! Commies suck arse! Ye can't even get any real humor outta it unlike some satan-worshippin'...

dArK sTuFfEr: Anyway, we should start havin' our own secret meetings in some place that Mega won't know aboot.

JUSSI: At least there's now one more abandoned house in Hautataipale now, as them Markkanens left in the summer...

dArK sTuFfEr: But what'd be most important in such a place would be that we could get there in secret, without raisin' suspicions.

dArK sTuFfEr: So, we could maybe first keep these meetings here at my place afore we reveal the crew's existence.

JUSSI: How long are we gonna keep Chaos as a secret then?

dArK sTuFfEr: Well, there's a couple of important CWU meetings soon, and I wouldna dare reveal Chaos afore 'em.

dArK sTuFfEr: In the start of next month there's gonna be that "key meeting" where we're gonna test the master key we got from C.O.P., maybe after that...

myXTer: There'd also be a good chance to get the key away from Mega.

JUSSI: Oh, right, Mega's still got that key, and he'd still have some kind of an advantage over us because of it...

dArK sTuFfEr: A small advantage nevertheless, as we've got all the boards and others.

JUSSI: Wonder if I should join back to CWU, I mean the Cooles CWU?

JUSSI: Maybe as a kind of spy member, so we could better sabotage it from the inside afore we reveal Chaos.

dArK sTuFfEr: Yeah, that's a really good idea!

JUSSI: And this fella might also get to Mega's birthday party too.

dArK sTuFfEr: Yeah, I wouldna like to miss that birthday party either. So, maybe we could reveal ourselves then after that!

JUSSI: Allright, sounds great!

JUSSI: But should we now be goin' to Kassu's place?

dArK sTuFfEr: Yeah... and let's avoid tellin' anything aboot Chaos there!

dArK sTuFfEr: I guess there wouldna be any reason for that, 'cause Kassu would be so excited about CWUnet two-zero.

JUSSI: Yeah.
