Fidotel.com is dead.  I carry both the MYSTIC echo and the gated newsgroup
(with the Fido type name of ALT-BBS-MYSTIC) on the BBS.  It's substantially
spam filtered.  The BBS is up 23.5/7 (half-hour maintenance.) 

bbs.sursum-corda.com

Newsgroup posting protocols have to be followed to maintain threading.
(E.g., the reply has to have Re: inserted in the reply subject line.)

Best regards,
Marc
