Dear netters,

  The next two questions are probably faqs, but I could neither find a faq list,
  nor an answer to this questions in one of the previous posts.

  *)  A friend of mine wants to set up a fido node on a unix machine.
  So the question : is there any fidonet software available for unix boxes.

  *)Additionally I have heard of a graphical bbs called robobbs, any pointers
  to an ftp site to get it ?
 

  Please reply by email, because I don't read this group reguilarly. If I get 
  enough responses I will post a summary.

  Thanks in advance

   Georg

BinkleyTerm is available for UNIX; do some anonymous FTP to m2xenix.psg.com
and look in /pub/fidonet/binkley for bt3023.tar.Z.

There's also rfmail, which has more of a UNIX-style command-line interface
rather than Binkley's full-screen stuff.  I don't remember offhand where
to get it; check an archie server.  Only problem is that there's no
documentation; even the README's in Finnish, as I recall.

I know we have a version of it here.  I don't know how recent it is,
though.  Try FTP'ing to louie.udel.edu and look in /pub for robo*.

Posting to the net, too, in case anyone's interested.
