   frontdoor works just fine with a telnet capable virtual modem like   
   netserial/netfoss... plus joho has returned to fidonet and is working on   
   frontdoor again...   
      
   but, right now, in today's fidonet, binkd is the most common mailer used... it   
   is a BSO mailer so those with binnkleyterm experience will probably understand   
   it faster and easier than others...   
      
   i use both, frontdoor and binkd, on my system in a kinda of hybrid setup...   
   while i could use the BSO in its natural form, i prefer to use binkd's   
   fileboxes which makes it easier for my scripts to move the outbound mail to   
   each system that connects here via the binkp protocol... all the major   
   processing is still done in the frontdoor/fastecho style manner... all inbound   
   traffic is moved to the central processing area and dealt with... outbound   
   stays with FD for its dynamic routing or is moved into a system's filebox for   
   binkd to mangle...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
