    Are there any AmiExpress SysOP's on this echo? I know they're a rare breed.

    Not many but I ran it for years in the 90s. I am working on getting the
    latest version which is a re-write of Ami/X in Amiga E compiled on OS 4 so I can move my current Amiga system over to it.

    BTW, I sent you a netmail about joining AmigaNet as you were asking about joining.

    I replied the same day. Can't remember if I sent it to Netsurge or Sysop. Better have a look. If you can't find it I'll resend. :-)

    Yeah they are, one of the things on my (hopefully soon) bucket list is setting up AmiExpress...

    I ran Transamiga back in the day but thought I'd try Amiexpress. Got it all
    set -up and running here, though without Fidonet. THAT is a challenge as
    there is no docs anywhere. We presently wade through piles of old Amiga fido packages. Wish me luck. :-)

    Ahhh, yeah, TransAmiga! I remember that one. That was another nice package. I wonder if anyone is running it now through Telnet? I'd love to check out a modern TransAmiga BBS...


    I'll have to look into that too

    Sooo many things to look at so little time!

    I can give you a hand getting Crashmail up and running on your Amiga. That
    and something like BinkD for the Amiga is all you really need to get FTN
    style networks up and running on your Amiga.

    Actually, I have BinkD dialing out and transferring packages ok, and Crash
    mail installed. Its looking for a nodelist but it does not like my modern
    Fido nodelist file. Traplist won't make one, and freezes up. Oh we are
    working on it as time permits. :-)

    I loved it, and ran it online for years but the last thing the author did was correct Y2K and then stopped upgrading and supporting it. Since it had no echomail capabilities it sorta became redundant. If memory corrects me (and
    it probably won't) there may have been a small release buy can't remember if Fidonet stuff was included. I ran Metro OZ BBS for a while as well. I often wonder what ever happened to Percy Broadnax.

    I will send you a nodelist compiler that will take care of that issue for you when I get home, I'm on the road for work right now.

    Yeah TransAmigaa was nice! A buddy of mine ran it for a few years. I DO remember last time I saw/connected it didn't have the FidoNet stuff. It was still a nice package
