Hi! Nick,

   Actually the last is my wife's XP SP2.  (I don't use it any longer.)  It used   
   to run on her Ubuntu PC as a vBox but she only ever saw XP full-screen.  Same   
   difference though WRT updates.

   Never updated.  They got it right the first time... well, it's Puppy version   
   4.12 (Linux v2.5.x), and version 2.00 of the particular edition (MacPuppy).   
      
   There are =no= public-facing well-known servers active on this LAN, verified   
   with several web tools... except for Fidonet (binkP counts now).

   I recall Nick saying that won't happen.  Maybe I'm wrong... probably I'm   
   wrong.  Nearly exactly three years back he said he was working on v4.xx for a   
   "multitude of OS platforms".  I thought he said since that he's somewhat   
   disappointed that he couldn't.

   Ermm... mine seems to want to use a single outbound for -all- of Fidonet,   
   regardless of zone.  Early days, as it might only have created the 'default'   
   zone.  No real testing yet.

   Dude.  That's why I'm here.  I want a _good_ Linux tosser that serves   
   JAMNNTPd.  A fixed CM II 2.xx would be a wonderful winner.   
      
   Cheers,
