  • Fidonet...

    From W8KDG@VERT/JERRY to All on Thu Jan 25 01:59:07 2018
    Hello,

    Getting back into BBS'ing again. I kind of drift in and out, drifting in whenever feeling nostalgic.

    Is Fidonet even worth the hassle of setting up anymore? I was a node back in the day...

    Thanks...

    Depends what you want. There still are a few good (as in quality traffic, not bots, flame wars or pissing contests) echoes on Fidonet. I recently got some great support off the BINKD echo, and the IPV6 echo is also very good.


    ... What if someone's real name is a psuedonym??
