Good evening Karel,

RA>     FDAPX is a breeze, it can't run PCBoard, and if there's a
RA> coordinator in Fidonet, it can't use it and doesn't work in 64 bit.

Yes I know. I have only used FDAPX as a point when at my office or beeing
away on a trip. Since everything is built-in in PCBoard I have never had
a need for something to start it up.

RA>     eCS and BlueLion are only slightly upgraded Warp. Kernel is
RA> still the same :-( But I love OS / 2 and so mmsm eCS even though it
RA> is not cheap :-(

Yes I know about the prices and a little about what they do. The price
and the slowly dying Fidonet are the reasons why I have not upgraded to
either program.

 RH>> I understand, but I've never used PCBard alone and for FidoNet.

I have always used PCBoard for both my BBS and Fidonet. Actually I joined
Fidonet some years after starting the BBS.

 RH>> Yes, BinkD is the only option today because Telnet and port 23 are
 RH>> useless today :-(

It's not the only option and Telnet isn't dead yet.

RA>     I worked for a long time and I couldn't persuade SIO and VM.
RA> Finally, Tomi from Belgium advised me, and FrontDoor dials through
RA> port 2030, but we didn't solve it to accept calls as well.


Have a good night,

Holger
