Hello Björn!

 Yes XBMC is nice ;)

 Well in a way I am reluctant to do so, for the simple reason, that it is
 as weird a setup as anybodies after 20 years of evolution.

 It is based on fidogate without the use of the gateway for the node, binkd as
 mailer, a directoy linked point system with hpt as tosser and golded.
 For an outsider a true abomination.

 I can live with that, but I want to make a more generic solution.
 A fairly current setup, would be based current software. that would be:

 Mailer:    binkd
 Tosser:    hpt (husky)
 Msgeditor: Golded.

 Those three are more or less packaged in fidoip.

 With minor tinkering and adding some processor dependent compiler options
 that package does a good job. However, as a debian user I do not agree
 with where they put the software, so I may want to make adaptions there.
 There is also some software missing like makenlng.

 On my todo list is to create a image with a working fido node, that can
 either be used as node or as point system. With people asking for an
 image for the raspberry, priorities change.

 Keep on buggering me for a Rasberry Fido node.
