I've been with WWIVnet since it's demise in the mid 90's. Eli Sanford managed
to collaborate with Steve Winn (VADV / VirtualNet) and combine it with
VirtualNet. Files were tossed with an FTP routine. Later WWIVnet was
resurrected with FTN/binkp. Steve Winn managed to resurrect VirtualNet which
I am still running on my Virtual Advanced BBS. My WWIVnet is down because my
WWIV board is on an old machine and I need to migrate to a 64 bit OS. I don't
see why WWIVnet couldn't be backwards compatible. Otherwise, I would be
posting from my own board. BTW, there are only like 5 Virtual Advanced bbs's
connected with VirtualNet. I see the Renegade people still connected with
MetroNet. DoveNet via Synchronet is still the largest perhaps and there are
but a few active subs on Fido patronizing specific software related topics.
IMHO I think Fido experienced a great loss when Janice Kracked (sp) passed.
Nick Andre seems to be holding down the fort. We are all getting older. I'll
be a young 71 soon.
