Hello Alan - 

CH>> The Fidonet died when OS2 died as that was the only
CH>> operating system fidonet developers with reasonably priced
CH>> or freeware supported software that could interface with
CH>> the internet. At one time there were over 30,000 fidonet
CH>> BBS in the world. Used to be you could come into this
CH>> conference and say something about OS/2 vs Windows and the
CH>> OS2 Zealots would shout non-believers down. OS/2 won the
CH>> fidonet FOSSIL based software wars. As as they say, the
CH>> rest is now history.. 

AH> Yeah - virus-vulnerable MS servers won the Internet,
AH> because IBM did a lousy job marketing the superior OS/2
AH> Server software. 

AH> M$ won. The users lost. 

(See my reply to this in DRDEBUG)
