   I ran FD during the days I had my stuff on modem, specifically because I   
   disliked (and still do) bink. Unfortunately on the NATIVE Linux side there   
   seems to be little elese available.  There were reasons as to why FD made sense   
    to me at the time. I even added in Terminate as a point system for some   
   things. Although my main point was just my old FD setup made into a point, when   
    I moved all mystuff into my office where I had the phone lines to spare.   
      
   So the possabiity of a NATIVE LINUX FD... is like nirvana! FD made sense to me   
   where as bink doesn't and still doesn't. I think there is also a Linux version   
   of the tosser I used at that time too. Right now the only piece of the puzzle   
   that is missing is FD.   
      
   I had FD, BGFAX, GIGO all running. I actully tested BGFA and GIGO.   
      
   I'd love to find a Linux path for GIGO, the various UseNet/EMAIL to Fido gating   
    systems all seem to be DOA regardless of OS. I may still scrape all the pieces   
    together and mix up a VM with DOSBox etc. to try this out for a project, but   
   I've got other things on the list right now.
