Hi Dennis!
 
An ISDN line works again (2:301/133) so I can accept incoming modem/ISDN
calls again, but not too much yet on the doors or files front.
 
Actually, I did a very disturbing thing this afternoon - I got rid of
my "Tower of Power", an A3000 with an 68060/66 where the motherboard was
more or less dead (error on a soldered part), and I removed all custom
chips and the PSU (which would be available if somebody fetches it here
or pays shipping), for the custom chips, a bottle of decent Scottish or
Irish whiskey would do; but you will also get AmigaOS 3.5 on CD, plus
some ROMS), and I removed everything still working and then hauled the
rest to the junkyard.
 
If somebody can point me out to a good bunch of python or perl BBS doors,
it would be tres cool.
 
-Rene
