    Hi Tommi,

    I hope I will be ;o) Thanks for the message.

    Lately I have been disappointed with the Fidonet feed via my Host in
    Sweden. I don't blame my host (2:201/111) but I suspect the fault may
    be at Bj”rn Felten as RC.

    I have noted that much of the echo mail passes your node so I wonder if I
    could poll your system, at least for a test to see how the flow is.

    If I'm satisfied I can set up to poll to permanently poll your system automatically every morning.

    Also, I think that you use OS/2 on a laptop and wonder how you have
    managed to install OS/2 on a modern machine. I have tried to install
    Warp 4 on various machines but without success as soon as the processor
    has more than one core.

    On a Dell laptop I have it's possible to limit the first partition to
    256 Mb for OS/2 but the processor has more than one core and therefore
    limits the install of OS/2.

    Of course with a modern SSD HD it would also allow the installation of
    Windows 10pro on the same machine. Now I have Win10pro on both a laptop
    and a stationary machine but I will never trust Windows to run my BBS.


    Have a good night,

    Holger

    Of course you can, but I don't have a POTS modem line anymore. Can you do BINKP? Or VMODEM? FTP? Or any protocol over the internet?

    My OS/2 installation is still the same very old one, running as a virtual machine in a Dell laptop.
