   1. An overriding RAM restriction: 4Gb per host.  2.  Win98se needs only 128Mb   
   RAM, and the older Puppy systems only need 256-512Mb/per.  3. No income, as all   
    of my wealth is tied up in assets.

   Excuse me?  I've never run iRex for anything.  I confused you.  Sorry.   
      
   I was running Radius for a downlink using iRex/W32 who will not reset to port   
   24555, to catch my backup system after the primary node imploded in the vBox   
   update on 17 August.   
      
   Radius TRAP-ped on my web-tools server Win98se vBox, so I'm now running two   
   binkD servers on both ports, 24554 & 24555.  Only one is nodelisted.  (The   
   second binkD was always running as a LAN 'Stargate' IAC.)  Both are publically   
   available though only the nodelisted one will serve *all* current links.   
      
    PQ>> the 'default' zone.  No real testing yet.   
      
    NB> If I remember right, the default zone setting would obviously be your   
    NB> default Fidonet outbound directory for zone 3. However, every other zone   
    NB> should have their own directory (ie: if default zone is "fidonet", you   
    NB> should have fidonet.001, fidonet.002, and fidonet.004 if links for those   
    NB> zones are in your config and you've sent netmail to them). Then for any   
    NB> other network you setup it would have a different directory naming   
    NB> scheme, not using the "fidonet" prefix, it would use the actual name of   
    NB> the network.   
      
   Yes.   
      
    PQ>> Dude.  That's why I'm here.  I want a _good_ Linux tosser that serves

   Yes.  :(   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
