You should actually talk to Ward Dossche (Fidonet International
Coordinator) about that-he's still running D'Bridge.  I am not sure about
if it's Y2K, etc. I knew one other sysop running D'Bridge, but he's long
since disappeared, sadly.  He said he did have it working nicely though
when he did have it running.

What operating system are you running it under?  I know that there is a
freeware telnet engine/FOSSIL driver solution for Windows (GameSrv/NetFOSS)
that I have used before with great success with Telegard, Maximus/NT and
Shotgun.  I currently run SIO/VMODEM under OS/2 (a great combo :).

Later,
Sean
