Yes.  You say it way better than I.  My configuration has been running as a
node on & off for a very long time (late noughties), in Win98SE. It was
originally a real PC but I copied everything into a VirtualBox (vBox) setup
in early 2012.  It only broke in Aug 2018 due to a cause not of its own
making.  I just don't run it as a node any longer.

Have fun with your FastEcho config & XP!  I never trusted XP much with
my Fido stuff.  Just a couple of utils (two!).  I was always looking over
my shoulder since it has two command processors.  I.e. double the chance of
screwing up.  ;)

Cheers,
Paul.
