    tap tap tap. is this thing on? :) i remember in the day when tgis echo used to be active.
    With WINS and PXW v10 in testing, I would've thought there would be more traffic here :)

    Your system just spammed the FN_SYSOP area with 107 messages that don't belong there! :-(

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Thank you for letting me know. Damned old age eyes and fine print. :(

    For Wildcat users most traffic has moved to Discord which is why WINSnet was shutdown at the end of last year. Fidonet Wildcat has low traffic with a few queries about using Wildcat software.

    It is good news that PXW is finally being updated which hopefully leads to new users, for that to happen SSI needs to maybe reduce the price of a sysop package and long term SSI will make money on th AUP. If you look at IPTIA
    there are not that many Wildcat BBS's.

    Not sure as I am overseas and not on the AUP presently.

    Main feature is BinkP support which is working but I understand limited to the default 24554 port at this time.
