  • Spitfire BBS in 2026

    This is mostly a test message, but i will state that this may be the first Spitfire message post to fido in many many years.

    I created a new 32bit mail tosser and got Spitfire Y2K compliant. Will have another post w/ HOWTO docs and info.

    With that said, long live the BBS and Spitfire software ;)

    I am very interested in this.
    I have a registered copy of v3.5 and would love to bring my SF board back.

    No sir, I did not get it but don't be in a hurry as my work schedule just got all screwed up. But I did send a email to the address on your website, if all else fails, respond to me there.

    Appreciate the effort..
    Joe
