Have you ever tried the Britisch (Acorn) RISC OS on a Pi?

A Windows virus does not have effect on it ;-).

Greetings from Henri, a Dutch Acorn and RISC OS user since 1984.

Unfortunately suddenly my UniCorn BBS went OffLine by 2 defective RS232 ports
on a Dos mainboard PC running FrontDoor and RemoteAccess with a large
DownLoad. So temporarely no POTS incoming calls are accepted sincs March 2019.
I am considering how to solve this problem when I am back from my river
sailing vacation at the end of this month.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
If you want somthing from my DownLoad, I can sent it to you by e-mail.

Now I am running !ROSBink 1.30 at an old Raspberry Pi 1B for FidoNet and
AcoNet.
