I agree with Johnny, "Because it can be done" is a perfectly valid motivation - speaking of mail gateways, I have set up a Fidonet netmail gateway on the aptly named FIDOGW box. I'll be posting more about this soon.

I don't know about you guys, but for me, the fact that the connectivity even exists is a fun thing. Even if noone normally use it.

FWIW, I used to run an SMTP<->MAIL11 gateway on LEGATO, but I quit when I
transferred to CODA.   I have no objection to doing it again, but frankly no
one used it much.   I think that the HECnet machines that people actually
used from day-to-day are already all connected directly to the Internet
anyway and the MAIL11 gateway is superfluous.
