Hello Maurice!

18 Dec 06 21:40, you wrote to me:

The HUB does not have users.

ED Hulett posts from my nntp setup.

Yeah and we can go back to the Ox and Yoke to plow our fields..

For those things a Fidonet Message base needs, pure text files wouldnt be
consucive for dupe checking and other needs.

There are console mode apps for linux that would work.

There is no need for you to run it if you arent going to provide access to the
echoes for others.

Yes but since you arent the swami, I am not worried.

You are just a bitter old man.

 RC>> No, my linux experience may not exceed yours, but I have run it a

 MK> Her obviously catches on faster.  :-)

Really, I had everything up and running in less than a day, he is still
marvelling over mplayer.

 RC>> I will admit, I installed the binkd daemon from a deb, but it was
 RC>> the latest version which I could not find the source for.

 MK> Yeah they hide it.  Just a sec ... found it.

 MK> ftp://happy.kiev.ua/pub/fidosoft/mailer/binkd/snapshot/binkd-1.0.tar.g
 MK> z

 MK> What a hassel.

Except the version I wanted and looked for was 1.1, the version I got via deb
is 1.1.

oops..
