You should actually talk to Ward Dossche (Fidonet International Coordinator)
about that-he's still running D'Bridge.  I am not sure about if it's Y2K, etc.
I knew one other sysop running D'Bridge, but he's long since disappeared,
sadly.  He said he did have it working nicely though when he did have it
running.

What operating system are you running it under?  I know that there is a
freeware telnet engine/FOSSIL driver solution for Windows (GameSrv/NetFOSS)
that I have used before with great success with Telegard, Maximus/NT and
Shotgun.  I currently run SIO/VMODEM under OS/2 (a great combo :).

Later,
Sean
