- Well, if you are able to get ahold of a local (or any) Fido node, especially
- a host, hub, coordinator, etc., they will have a zip package of files for
- newbie Fido SysOps. It contains most of the information I think you're
- looking for. And when you become a Fido node, it is automatically given to
- you.
