FidoNet consists of Fidos arranged
into REGIONS and NETWORKs. These are
groupings to make FidoNet mail more
effecient, and to make it easier to
choose the Fido you want. REGIONs are
basically just geographical areas; NETWORKs
are usually in cities. 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 too.
