	As I understand some people use The Internet as the medium to
carry their fidonet packets. While where are some gateways. Most
fidonet mail says on fidonet for fidonet. Thats why there isn't really
any spam, I tried it. I wasn't too happy with it. and trying to keep
binkd in sync with binkleyterm was diffcult, it wasn't impossible but
it just was not worth it.
