      Hi THIARAMUS,              On 2018-06-18 15:54:22, you wrote to ALL:               TH> It's been 20 something years since the last time I used FidoNet, and        TH> for the last few months I am having a really bad nostalgia about the        TH> good-old days. It was a wonderful time of discovery of OS/2, which, in        TH> my opinion, had the best FTN Software. I think that my favorite editor        TH> was called FleetStreet. I remember I was using T-Mail as a        TH> packer/mailer, FastEcho as scanner/tosser, and GoldEd for text mode        TH> editing. I am not even sure if T-Mail and FleetStreet was ever used in        TH> the United States, as I was living in the zone 2 back than. I was        TH> trying to remember my old point number, but I can't get past the node.        TH> 2:460/35.xx... It is not important though, even the parts I can        TH> remember giving me enough flashbacks :)               TH> What I really wanted to find out, is if it's possible to set up        TH> working FidoNet point software package these days, getting a new        TH> account and get reinstated as FidoNet point? :) I mean replacing the        TH> dial up part with something internet based obviously, and keep the        TH> rest working more or less as it was before? Nostalgia sake. I've got        TH> myself a "retro" 166MMX Pentium laptop, which I am about to turn into        TH> a little Time Machine.              There are a couple of specialized point packages advertized here from time to       time, but you could also still use GoldEd and FastEcho, and use binkd as your       IP mailer...              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)    |
