Vertrauen (vert.synchro.net) has been around for at least the 10 years
I've been working on qodem.  I think the Citadel folks have kept one
running for a long time too.

Probably your best best would be to go through the Fidonet nodelist
and see which Zone 1 or 2 systems are still around.  Some BBSes have
come back from 80's-era backups too.

Those resurrected boards are a tricky case.

Probably Exec-PC - up since 1987, was once the largest BBS in the
world, and still accessible at bbs.execpc.com.

And all of their file archives can still be downloaded if you have a
client that supports X/Y/Zmodem.
