.. and 'lemme tell ya.  It's a ride.  I finally got Frontdoor working   
   properly under Windows and now got two hubs I connect to   
   for Fidonet and Usenet.  Very nice success.   
      
   But - to read all this goodieness I had to have some   
   nice software. So, after some serious digging I finally   
   got hold of the executables for a Swedish BBS system   
   from the 90's, modestly named The Perfect Conference   
   System (TPCS) written by two old friends of mine.   
      
   Turns out TPCS wasn't ready for Y2K and even   
   though the source code is still around my two friends   
   had no means to actually compile it, nor the time to get   
   all the old software to do so. So thanks to another   
   friend, TPCS is now Y2K compatible since he simply   
   patched the executables.   
      
   Smart people are scary.   
      
   Anyway - this is my second Fidonet node but my first   
   Frontdoor node for at least 20 years and it's great to   
   help my friend Joaquim in a very small way in his   
   efforts to get the ball running again with Frontdoor development.
