It is very much still alive. I contacted Dan Fitzgerald before Christmas and he gave me a copy of CNet Amiga 5.20. He has been helping me get my BBS up and running. It is called CheckSum Acknowledged and you can access it at telnet://24.225.22.26:
My BBS is running inside WinUAE (The AmiKit X edition) on a Windows 10 computer. It has a massive (and I mean big) collection of Amiga files available for download, and is on FidoNET (1:298/29.0). It has a few Amiga door games and soon will have allthe PC door games as well.
Dan is hoping to release version 5.21 this weekend, and it has some new features that people, sysops and users both will like. He also has planned a release of version 5.22 in the very near future with additional features.
That would be great. Hopefully he (or one of you) will put up a
change log so the rest of us can see whats happening.
Glad Dan was still out there somewhere!

The new version, 5.21a, has a couple of neat new features. One is called JoinLink, which allows CNet BBS's to have a combined chat conference room. Dan is planning on expanding this link connection to allow multi-bbs, multi-player door games and even
Another is email integration. This will allow a new user to validate an account with their email address, which can remove the need for lots of user information gathering during new account creation. Also, it will allow the user to opt for emailnotification for various events that happen on the BBS.
It is now available for download on Dan's BBS. There are about 5 of us sysops running CNet again.
Dan's BBS is at telnet://fw2.cnetbbs.net:6800
Many people have disparaged Dan for not doing anything over the years, but he's making up for it now.
Just think of the fun games of Global War and Empire and Tradewars 2000
that could become reality. :)

Is there any way to get/purchase a copy? I've sent an email, and awaiting a response.

I was a very active Cnet BBS owner, and many of my old users want to run their online games through messages again. So I was hunting for software to revive it.
