I got it up and running, after a couple hours fiddling.  Firstly on a friend's
server, where it became a mini ISP, and then on an old machine at home, which
became a router for me. :)  The GUI configuration tools turned out to be too
buggy to be useable, so I became very good at running it in text mode. :)

3:633/410 runs on a Pi sa well, and is also an IP only node.  It will probably
take a while to get back up to the 500+ echos I used to carry many years ago.
:)  Jamnntpd sounds interesting in one way, but in another sounds like a
reincarnation of the issues I have with web forums - network lag, and also not
really useful in some areas I go - Internet access can be iffy in remote areas
here.  I'd rather QWK for smartphones. :)
