      MSGID: 2:423/39 5e36fcaf       CHRS: CP895 2       TZUTC: 0100       TID: CrashMail II/Linux 0.62       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?)              Karel              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Plast DATA (2:423/39)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 242 360 227/114 229/426       SEEN-BY: 229/452 616 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 288/100       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 420/33 421/79       SEEN-BY: 421/83 423/36 39 81 120 121 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 5020/545       PATH: 423/39 81 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
