Surprised you're on this echo. Normally this is used by the Net 275 admin
for testing. :)

I think Dave was teasing you. ;) This echo is still in the echolist and is Asia Link. There are a person or two that also use it to do some testing, some of which often spawns additional discussions among the participants.

Yes, I often use it for testing. I had a bad crash while in the hospital due to severe low sodium, something that has plagued me for decades. It caused something simular to a stroke.

Unfortunately, I was not aware of how much it messed up my head until later. I broke the 1:275/100 node badly. I am looking at installing a completely new box with Mystic and have part of that complete. It's win11 instead of XP.

The holdup is how to make the transition seamless for those who get mail from me. There aren't many but in fairness, they deserve that.

Meantime, still alive and kicking but fastest way to reach me is chenk54@yahoo.com

Yup, and no objection if others need it for testing too! The official testing echo is useless for that.

FIDOTEST seems pretty active.
But is another one just called TEST, and rarely used.

Is there another one that you mean?

Sorry to hear that. Hope you are doing well now!

me. There aren't many but in fairness, they deserve that.

Same here in that there are not too many. More on othernets than FIDO. A few months back, I migrated the hub over to a different machine. I let the connections know in advance which day I planned to be offline for a while and got the destination machine configured. On the day of, I took everything down, migrated any waiting mail from the old machine to the new, and then brought the new mailer instance online in place of the old one. Then I let the connections know the system was back.

Took some thinking, and wasn't without a few small issues, but that was as seamless as I could think to make it.
