Hey Kees!

 KvE> I would not know how to address you, when only your Cyrillic
 KvE> name was available to me.

For the record, both are exactly the same although the Anglo version of my last name is mispronounced whereas the Cyrillic version that never happens since the characters are phonetic.  I believe you would get Maurice correctly given your native language and the Cyrillic version are pronounced the same.

  KvE> some day we will get there and maybe it will be the killer app
  KvE> to get rid of old fidonet software and move forward

Agreed.  In this part of the world the Old English taglines are what attracts the locals here.  Given that Ænglisc has it's roots in Frisian I'd imagine it would be possible to create old Dutch - if there is such a thing - taglines which just might be the same for all I know about it.  I've never checked but it might be a worthwhile search and might attract some needed attention to Fidonet in your part of the world.  I highly recommend them and if it were up to me they'd be utf-8 characters from day one.

Life is good,
Maurice
