 GJ> Is the only way now via Telnet, internet or does the old modem method

All three still work.  If you still have old users in the area, they
might be quite happy to have you still offer dialup.  Telnet is a nice
alternative to long-distance, though.  :)   And some people prefer doing
it all from the web side of things.

 GJ> Has any of the old software I've listed been patched for the Y2K
 GJ> issue? 

Wildcat boards are still running fine.  Dunno about Spitfire or
Searchlight.   But there's also Telegard, Renegade, and Synchronet amid
others...  I think that most of the doors didn't have Y2K issues, but
I'm not really into that all that much.  I know that there are fixes for
the Bluewave offline doors and reader.  I'm only a user, never a sysop,
but I've been around for quite a while... and never left...  

 GJ> I'm sure I'll have a few more questions if that's okay...

That's what it's all about... :)
