File Requests and recognized Fidonet Standards
There are two "MAGIC" file names that are universally recognized
in Fidonet. These are as follows:
FILES - If another system requests "FILES" from your system.
They should recieve a list of files that are available
via request from your system.
ABOUT - If another system requests "ABOUT" from your system.
They should receive a small text file telling about
you system. Information about hours of operation,
supported baud rates, and any special interests your
system supports would be appropriate.
One small note of etiquette here. It's wiser not to request too often or
too much, of one system. Remember, there are many of us here in this Net
and it's just good measure to make sure you are not using MORE than your
fair share of transfer time.
