I knew him as Enigma and yeah, he bought his own license of SBBS and helped with some code updates for SBBS4OS2 too. The key/crack was made by a Rusian hacker, if I recall correctly, and dink/Enigma just packaged it up and distributed it. The original leaked key used for the crack was not his.

Enigma/dink was the author of mTelnet too. Hopefully someday he rejoins BBS land.
