SPITFIRE is actually no longer being developed actively from what the
author has told me directly.  It's just being "maintained".  I
actually had paid someone else to rewrite Alexi/Mail (this other person
actually has the full source to A/M) and told me that the code was so bad
that he'd have to just start over again with a new tosser.

There is one active SPITFIRE BBS, Homeward Bound, that is available via
telnet and is a member of Fidonet.  Ernest Nachtigall is its sysop, IIRC.

I do have my working SPITIFIRE setup here (I registered SPITFIRE).  I could
never get it to work right under OS/2 and it was a PITA under Windows, so I
just gave up.  I got interested in TriBBS but it seems TriBBS has been
completely abandoned.

I'd love to get my hands on SPITFIRE's code and try to modernize it, even
if it only ran under DOS.

Later,
Sean
