The binary header helps to process the message more easy and faster
than ASCII encoded addresses and stuff. And it also reduces the size
of the message. Back in the days of 300 bps modems you could count the
seconds saved. And RAM was limited too those days.

Linux requires at least 386 CPU (that is 32 bit) from the very birth.

Yep! But Fido is older than linux. BTW you can run linux on a 8 bit CPU using an emulator. That was recently done on an ATmega.

Hmm. I got this message a number of times. Most in my BAD area, because it was too old (2012). But this one and 2 others in my dupe area, where apparantly the
date was changed. Sending out old mail is bad, but changing dates is even more bad IMHO !

Paths, in my BAD area:

@PATH: 240/1661

So either 140/1 or 221/0 is changing dates! :-(

There is also a requirement for real HW to have virtual memory.

There used to be ELKS (Extended Linux Kernel Subset) for MMUless CPUs.
No clue if it still exists. Never needed it.

Still, I'd like to know who is creating the copies. A few days ago 1:15/0 sent copies of echomail from FIDOSOFT.GER to FIDOSOFT.HUSKY and from INTERNET.GER to
INTERNET while changing the writer's address to 1:15/0 and adding an origin line including the same address. I've sent 1:15/0 a netmail asking about that issue, but I haven't received any response yet :( And now we have exact copies.


From a copy in my dupe area:

@PATH: 240/1661 1120 261/38 140/1 221/0 1 280/5003 464

Obviously my address wasn't in the seen-by lines when your system received that
copy. And you should have received that echomail directly from my system anyway.

Cheers,
Markus

Bei VDSL kann man nur noch ISDN buchen wenn man einen Grund nennt

nicht im Web.

Beim Anschlu�wechsel von ISDN-only auf Call & Surf wird automatisch der IP-basierte Anschlu� auf der Webseite gew�hlt. Man sieht das erst ganz am Ende und kann es auch nicht �ndern. W�hrend des Bestellvorgangs wird nirgens darauf hingewiesen. Nur bei einem "*" f�r die Tarifinfos ist dann von "IP" die Rede. Die Methode ist schon ziemlich mies. Die wollen halt VoIP durchdr�cken, damit sie das ISDN-Netz abschalten k�nnen. Ich kann's verstehen.

I've found those mails in my message base. The strange thing is that they should have been purged long time ago. For whatever reason they seem to be re-emerged from the death. I'll run a msgbase-check.
