D'B is a good all-inclusive "kit" for something to join the Fidonet fray.

But it wouldn't cooperate for me.  :(  It just kept certain outbound messages on
Hold and never sent them anywhere. I had to give up on it.

So.. most people here are insane? LOL  The future does not look very bright at all.

Even a dumbed-down app would need basic core of credentials at configuration,
not unlike what D'B requires at install.  There won't be a one-click one-step
solution. Some understanding of the terminologies used would also be a benefit
to the member/user.
