Eudora was discontinued a long time ago. They moved to a fork of

Mozilla's Thunderbird, called Eudora OSE, but that got dropped a long
time ago, too.

I don't know if that move was by the Eudora folk, or some third party
just trying to make a version of TB that _looked_ (to sighted people)
like Eudora. Certainly, it was based on a very early version of TB, and
I don't think was ever updated. I'm not sure it was different enough (at
the time it was made) from TB to be called a fork - I think a clever
skin might be a better description; however, I didn't play with it for
long, just long enough to establish that it wasn't usable for my blind
friend. (I'd been hoping to move him to TB and saw it as a possible way:
not that I thought TB better than Eudora, but thought TB was - then -
slightly more being developed than Eudora, which had definitely come to
a stop, and also had somewhat wider support, of the
find-someone-who-can-help-with problems variety. It's become academic as
[a] TB development has also almost stopped, like most email clients, and
[b] genuine Eudora works well enough on Windows 7 [and 10 I think].)

Hope you got sorted. I was going to say does the sitestar server respond
to pings, but since another has actually got telnet responses out of it,
that's probably moot.
