Hello John,

I am very new to this echo. I am operating a 32 line BBS here in
Munich/Germany and have a least line (128 KB/s) to the Internet.
I am running Wildcat 5.0 with Platinium Xpress under Windows NT.
Now I would like to receive and transmit echomail and files via
the Internet.

-> Not easily :-)  FNOS is a replacement for the versions of KA9Q commonly in use
-> for transferring files via FTPBone links.  A new version has been released.  It
-> is available on my ftp site or by FREQ from here :-)

For which OSs does this FNOS exists? Linux only?
What does it? Where are FTPBone links available? Which echos are
available on this FTPBone?
E.g. is it possible to receive the GamesNet via FTP?
Is a FAQ about FTP_FIDO available?

As you can see I am a real beginner with this FTP-FIDO subject. ;-)
                                                    
Thanks in advance for any kind of information.

Regards from Munich/Germany,
