 there is good tools donw in python for fidonet, but some of them dies when python versions is upgraded, this force python to not be upgraded to keep it running, sadly this is where i am.... gentoo

i had a partly fidobbs with nearly all i sql, beginned make php code to the sql, after the developper got it from my UMS amiga system he admit linux could not handle it, basicly thunderbird for everyting, including fidonet :)
