Ofcause, I live in a country with a small count of nodes, but we still have
our regional echos which is used often :)

We can transfer fidonet mail thru BinkP (people also call it "fidonet
next generation" or so) and VModem, all goes thru IP.. But many people
does still get there mail from a local feed by Modem/ISDN.
