    Just a spitfire sub-board ping to see who all may have this feed. I just rejoined fido after many years and was surprised it was still in the backbone.na. Very happy it is even if its not used much if at all.

    My first BBS in 1993 was Spitfire so its always been my first love. So much
    so I rebuilt her and offering it up for logons via telnet using NetSerial.
    And by reviewing the IPTIA BBS Resource Site it looks like its one of 3 Spitfire BBS's left in the world.

    Anyway, let me know if "tap-tap-tap, is this thing on?" ;)

    Long live the retro and Spitfire BBS.

    Good deal, so gald its working and tanks Alan.

    I conducted an areafix rescan for a large number of days in the past but
    didn't get anything.

    Anyway, the good news is this echo is alive <g>

    Oh wait, it's 2023 now, I must have nodded off :)
