So, back in the day, to be on a FTN, we had to run Front Door (or some other
front end mailer program), and gating software such as WWIVToss to be able to
integrate Fido <-> WWIV.

Where do we stand now?  As I understand it, gating software is now part of
WWIV.  Is it still necessary to run a front end program like Front Door?
If so, any suggestions for a good on that runs on Linux?

I'm interested in adding FidoNet back to the board, just seeing what all is
involved these days.
