 there is good tools donw in python for fidonet, but some of them dies when
python versions is upgraded, this force python to not be upgraded to keep it
running, sadly this is where i am.... gentoo

i had a partly fidobbs with nearly all i sql, beginned make php code to the
sql, after the developper got it from my UMS amiga system he admit linux could
not handle it, basicly thunderbird for everyting, including fidonet :)

its a mess for me right now
