Yeah, I've wanted to get mine back online - I found my backups a few years ago, which is what got me back into BBSing. While I didnt backup the message bases, or the doors, I backed up everything else. Id forgotton who were the most active users (both for mail/doors/files). It was interesting going back through the old log.

I have my original key - hence 1.1 is registered for me. I recall getting a new key, because I think a later version needs one, when I was messing around with upgrading at the time - I hope I still have it here somewhere.

What was your go to mailer? I use Portal of Power (which I restored as well). I remember at the time really liking it over what I used previously (which was probably frontdoor).
