It's a Linux package, and you can download it from
http://www.fidogate.org/pub/feddy in RPM format.

I use it a bit differently here than most because it is set up on the same
server as my main BBBS system.  I find logging into BBBS to read my mail is
just such a pain that I use LXpoint for all my FidoNet message reading and
writing.  I much prefer the LXpoint message editor than trying to work
within BBBS.  I have written a perl script to directly process the BBBS
message packets destined to the point system, thus bypassing the need for a
point-side mailer or connection to the main BBS.  A similar script takes
any new messages entered through LXpoint and "uploads" them to
BBBS for actual sending through FidoNet.

To be honest, I can't remember the last time I logged into BBBS.
