if you port qico to amiga it will role there aswell :)

qico runs at service fido and tfido here, port 60177 and 60179

so you are one of the script kiddies ? :)

don't use it !

why not make it into your own c code in zeus ?

sometimes i hate gpl licensenses :/

if its working put it on aminet or send it on amiganet as hatch, can't hurt
now :)

was not what it did here, changed to linux anyway :)

i have alot of alias, check your logs :)

nope bo did call you, and i tryed to do the same only one of us did come in to
you, i missed to provide port 23 on your hostname and then qico call you
default on 60179 if i remember

what about zeus ?

most old users will hate you for this, but i have taken the same route on
this, but i have reversed it to try to have modem on linux now since i could
use a fax :)

its not solved completely, but qico is ready :)
