  • Re: Get my C128/C64 on FI

    From Robert Wolfe@3:770/3 to All on Sat Jul 28 14:34:39 2018
    After a "hundred years" I got me a C128 and I would like to read my
    mail with it. Is there a way to do that? Maybe download the message
    linux, make a qwk out of it and then read it with QWKRR on the C128
    all, I realized, that I don't have a hunch about fido, so any start
    point would be great. Back then I left the scene before fido was a
    so I'm quit old... :-D

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Do you still have your modem? Should be possible then to find a BBS i
    your area which might still has a FIDO feed.

    Sadly, coming by one of these anymore can be difficult.

    Not a problem :) On the BBS I am replying to this message from
    (one of > mine) I carry Fido and Usenet newsgroups :) Granted wildcat.uuhec.net > runs a DOS-based package with some telnet server
    shims and I pull
    newsgroups and email via a UUCP connection, but it all works well
    together :)

    This sounds great. Can you give me some more info on that? Maybe I
    can setup this by myself...

    My BBS can be reached via telnet at winserver.org.
