┌────┤ CONSTRUCTION BBS - HELP w/ NETMAIL NETS & NODES ├───┐
│ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │
│ FidoNet consists of Fidos arranged into REGIONS and NETWORKs. │
│ These are groupings to make FidoNet mail more efficient, and │
│ to make it easier to choose the Fido you want. │
│ │
│ REGIONs are basically just geographical areas; NETWORKS are │
│ usually in cities. Nodes are individual Fidos. As far as │
│ entering a message goes, REGIONS and NETWORKS are the same. │
│ │
│ Picking the Fido you want is easy. Use '/' to list the REGIONS│
│ and NETWORKS, then pick the right one, or a likely candidate. │
│ Then use '#' to list the nodes (Fidos) in that region or net. │
│ Enter a node (Fido) number and you are done. │
│ │
│ If you know the specific region/net and node of the Fido you │
│ want, you can enter it as: MM/NN Where MM is the REGION or │
│ NET, and NN is the node number. This way lets you enter MORE │
│ THAN ONE Fido at a time also. │
