Hello, Nick!

Not really. I'm not physically Z2-R50 based but mentally, and the FTN SW 
variety doesn't vary much over here. So, whenever I run my FTN prototype, it 
won't catch much SW bugs as if I were, for example run it on my Z1 node. Well, 
until the point you can wipe code your own stuff. In Z2-R50 the majority is on 
binkd+hpt+golded which is a "golden standard".

Also, an interesting topic, why would you go underground? I mean, Z>7, to enjoy 
the calmness of the dying "official" z<=3 FidoNet as I haven't seen much of 
moderatorial and/or coordinators power show off in last decade. So, what's the 
deal?

Best Regards, Nil
