Anyone have a multi node version of wildcat or pc board they could
share? Im looking to setup a multi dial in nodes for one of these.

Not I. Wildcat, eh? My Fidonet uplink was running Wildcat! It was
probably the first board I really started spending time on.

Isn't wildcat still maintained? If you're serious, then I'd look into
paying for a licensed version.

[archives.scovetta.com](https://archive.scovetta.com) has you covered.
/pub/BBS/BBS\_Software/DOS/PCBOARD/ to be exact.

I believe technically the Windows version is still maintained in some
capacity.

Are there reasons to limit yourself to pcboard and wildcat?

I'd suggest using a modem BBS software and a dialup to telnet gateway
like SexPOTS.

I have a Sys/x (it uses pcboard "@X" ansi files format) way more
rad/elite than pcb or wildcat. It's a 5 nodes setup. Interested?  Only
on the condition you'll use 0 visuals from it (you must create all new
.pcb files).

Ran it for years on a laptop.

Only problem, it doesn't run PPEs like PCB, but it runs any .exe door
via doorway.
