I'll have a looksee later as I am keeping a close eye on the two out of three upgrades I just 'finished' (<- yeah right).  The third one should go rather quick now that I have the two slower ones out of the way.  So far none of the neighbours have shown up carrying torches and pitchforks so I think the wireless hotspots are as hot as they ever were, possibly a tad warmer.  Other than a quick test I haven't actually used that end of things lately.  I do have a 10" tablet with binkd client running in a termux shell, just like mom used to do.  It's fairly frugal at the moment but it can do fidonet MSGing as I have tested it before.  Unfortunetly no gcc/glibc on there so I am going to have to come up with a better way to develop on that platform than currently exists (clang) or just use pure bash scripts which is what I was doing on there the last I used it ... other than binkd which was compiled on there using the native clang.

Always something to do if one cares to.  :-)

Life is good,
Maurice
