Another Hi,
used to run 2:2449/845 on the Amiga with CNet and Trapdoor.
Stopped operating the BBS somewhere around '94 or something.
Used to be an A3000T040 with 3 MFCIII with a bunch of Courier
V.Everything.
Started with Linux because it got an IP Stack which was a lot more
stable than the AmiTCP stuff. So i started polling "real email" via
UUCP to a Linux box - then via UUCP over IP on a local Arcnet to
the Amiga via UUCP over IP to connect all BBS users to "real email".
Still using UUCP (over SSL) for most of my email.
Fido used to be a PITA with CNet as it got the implementation of
zone gates wrong so mails to a different zone didnt work out of
the box. I remember binary patching the CNet binaries.
Memory is pretty vague - Its a long time ago and uucp map files,
fido nodelists are long gone - My V.Everythings still exist though.

Hi Flo!
Nice to see you here, too! :)
used to run 2:2449/845 on the Amiga with CNet and
Trapdoor.
Stopped operating the BBS somewhere around '94 or something.
Back then I was 2:2449/413, but currently 2:2449 seems to be dead, so I connected under
2:2452 network.
Used to be an A3000T040 with 3 MFCIII with a bunch of
Courier
V.Everything.
I was running my box on a A3000/060 - and still would like to do so. Only lacking a secure
and up-to-date implementation of OS and AmiBinkd. ;)
Started with Linux because it got an IP Stack which
was a lot more
stable than the AmiTCP stuff. So i started polling "real email" via
UUCP to a Linux box - then via UUCP over IP on a local Arcnet to
the Amiga via UUCP over IP to connect all BBS users to "real email".
Still using UUCP (over SSL) for most of my email.
I was gating on Amiga as well. Worked like a charme back then. Setting up UUCP is still on
my todo list. I was using UUCP until 2005 or something (connected to westfalen.de in
Muenster).
Fido used to be a PITA with CNet as it got the
implementation of
zone gates wrong so mails to a different zone didnt work out of
the box. I remember binary patching the CNet binaries.
Well, there are other BBS softwares out there… ;)
Memory is pretty vague - Its a long time ago and uucp
map files,
fido nodelists are long gone - My V.Everythings still exist though.
The nodelist still exists! ;-)
In May 2017 I rejoined Fido after 17 years of absence. Many things have changed and my
impression is that the software stack you need to run a Fido box is not in the best shape.
Currently I’m trying to get ifcico up & running on my Debian Linux box. When calling
from my A3000 with Trapdoor (yes, it is still running! ;-)) the modem connect is done
between the two Zyxel 1496E modems, but then the EMSI handshake fails. Or the handover
between mgetty and ifcico. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=872507
So, if someone has some tips for me, that’d be very much appreciated! :-)
