<<Matt speaks the truth! My hunch is that, until your ISP sets this up for you, you could log on successfully by omitting the "bbs" part and just signing on to:
koolnet.org>>
Absolutely correct--I did it and it works--just like I can sign on to this bbs using spiderisland.com instead of bbs.spiderisland.com--didn't know I could do it until I tried--thank you to everyone who helped
