Started by (letterboxr@aol.com) | 1 message | First message: 1999-04-18

Madison, WI RHPS box found!

Started by (MixtMedia@aol.com) | 1 message | First message: 1999-04-17

This seems to be a topic to understand (how non-specific letterboxes will work). I think these have a place, though they are not mapped specifically. And I think the interface, in general, which...
