I like Renegade also, as it seems to be what WWIV should have evolved into
over the years.  I had to make many of the FTN friendly changes to WWIV,
myself.

Same thing over here.  D'Bridge has really helped me get things back online
and continues to be an asset to my crazy/original setup.  The fact that it
plays so nicely with WWIVTOSS is still astonishing to me.
