Nope. BinkD is constantly being maintained, in the 1.1.x series which is the
"unstable" branch, however supposedly pretty dang stable. 

The BinkD FidoNet echo is somewhat active at times too. I see lots of posts
there, code announcements much like cvs pushes going through, but looks more
specific than that.

But yeah, IF I remember correctly, binkd is in the ubuntu package repositories,
the standard ones. I could be wrong and it be in a PPA, though.
