    A truly accomplished and incredible individual. His protocol genius certainly moved our hobby forward "leaps and bounds" and that's a
    complete understatement. RIP, Mr. Forsberg.

    Thanks for posting, Gene.

    His ZModem certainly played an important part in the BBS scene.
    RIP Chuck Forsberg.
