Working with a FidoNet network coordinator and the author of ANetBBS to try to get things worked out. It almost works right now, but it's not actually picking up any messages.
Posted 2026-07-09Most everything is settled at this point. I'm still working on a few things that aren't quite right, but the vast majority of the services are good to go. Let me know if you hit any weird issues. I expect to go from beta to full launch on August 1st.
