   I think most sysops are quite fine with running VM's with the     
   older OSes that they need, or NTVDM or that other one called     
   NT64XVDM or something.

   There isn't much of a rising public demand for BBSes and     
   echomail systems, but I doubt that an "updated" FTN design will     
   make a difference.
