FAX: +1 (602) 451-1165
I prefer to communicate about FidoNet by email or FAX.
_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n
FidoNet allows MS and PC DOS personal computers, linked over
dial-up telephone lines, to contact UNIX and UUCP computers
via gateways. FidoNet, which was started in 1984, now con-
sists of more than 11,000 computers, or nodes, run by local
system administrators.
_N_e_t_w_o_r_k _A_c_c_e_s_s
FidoNet is fully coupled into the Internet. You do not need
to know any specific gateways, just address the message
correctly into the fidonet.org domain, and everything will
be routed automatically.
FidoNet addresses can be addressed in the basic format of:
FirstName_LastName@pww.fzz.nxx.zyy.fidonet.org
ww= Point Number (This is usually not needed unless
specific to a subsystem.)
zz= FidoNet Node
xx= FidoNet Network or Region
yy= FidoNet Zone (Presently only 1 to 5 are valid.)
