So, it’s a
good moment to join Fidonet. There is everything available
to run Fido on a Linux/Unix box as well as on PC, like binkd, Husky,
OpenXP for Points, GoldEd+, etc… If you like, you can also still use
old modems to poll or use HotDogEd on Android.
I used to be

I was 2:2449/413 and now I'm 2:2452/413... but network 2449 seems to be
short before deletion, so feel free to join again and maybe we can save

different Amiga binarys for TrapDoor and CNet :)
e.g.:

I actually use Trapdoor on my A3000 with 2x Zyxel U-1496E+ modems on my
Fritzbox. There should also a way to setup Trapdoor to use
telserv.device so that you can use an IP connection instead, but I
haven't figured out how to set it up correctly. This is on my todo list
for this weekend... ;)
How do others read/write mails? Is there a local gate
possibility to
use mutt/vim?
Not that I know of. Of course you could use ifmail to gate the message
to inn2d or so. But for me the fun/joy is to use my old computers for
this. Finally I want to have a my A3000 running my Fidonet node and my
BBS (incl. full Aminet mirror (I'm operating de6.aminet.net)), using
MailManager, Trapdoor or GMS-Mailer and either Excelsior!BBS or some
other software. If that is working, I maybe move it over to an Raspberry
3 to save some bugs for electrical power... ;)
On Linux side you can use Husky as tosser, GoldEd as editor and
binkd/qico as mailer, whereas qico seems to be the better choice for me
(supporting both EMSI and binkp) whereas binkd only provides binkp
protocol.
