I closed down my BBS nearly 30 years ago. I ran Bit Wiz Opus (115/689)
for a long time. I've forgotten what it was called in FidoNet but my
system was the gateway for net 115 to the back bone for several years.
At a telephone cost of over $100/month. I shut it down sometime in the
early 90's. It ran on a 10MHz 286.
It's nice to hear that Fidonet still exists though with direct email,
blogs, forums, etc. I'm quite surprised.
But then, I play with 50 year old PDP-8 computers so who am I wonder why
people keep old technology running😁.

FidoNet is still a thing too. I'm the NC of Net 138. (which sadly, is
now just myself and a couple of other nodes.)
