   Hi Dennis!   
       
   An ISDN line works again (2:301/133) so I can accept incoming modem/ISDN   
   calls again, but not too much yet on the doors or files front.   
       
   Actually, I did a very disturbing thing this afternoon - I got rid of   
   my "Tower of Power", an A3000 with an 68060/66 where the motherboard was   
   more or less dead (error on a soldered part), and I removed all custom   
   chips and the PSU (which would be available if somebody fetches it here   
   or pays shipping), for the custom chips, a bottle of decent Scottish or   
   Irish whiskey would do; but you will also get AmigaOS 3.5 on CD, plus   
   some ROMS), and I removed everything still working and then hauled the   
   rest to the junkyard.   
       
   If somebody can point me out to a good bunch of python or perl BBS doors,   
   it would be tres cool.   
       
   -Rene
