   Hello everybody!   
      
   For a while I am trying to find the perfect (= cheapest) way to host fidonet   
   (not cosidering BBS, just mailer, tosser, editor and maybe fileecho gadget).   
      
   To have running OS/2 or Win/DOS machine somewhere - looks to me odd.   
   (do not have modem anyway)   
      
   OK, Linux then - and hosted (VPS). (can read Echo via putty, mainly via   
   ConnectBot)   
      
   Ended with Golded, Crashmail, Binkd (and Htick).   
      
   VPS: very depens if online presence is needed or - just time to time run VPS   
   and process messages. To me offline is enough (thank to my uplink).   
      
   Offline: I found KVM hosted VPS for 0.50 EUR/month. Currently playing with   
   Microsoft Azure Cloud (looks 0,25EUR/month).   
      
   Online: for 1 year there is for free B1S VM (plus free 64GB HDD) - also on   
   Microsoft Azure Subscription (= 0 EUR/month for a while)   
      
   Did somebody similar research? (any recommendation?)
