Remember, Fidonet is more or less a separate 
network. And while most traffic goes via the 
Internet these days (one of my echomail feeds is on 
the opposite side of the US from me) a lot still 
goes via point-to-point modem connections.

I mostly read fidonet stuff in the Blue Wave offline 
reader, though I can read stuff with Front Door. And 
Front Door APX works ok as a Windows based point 
setup. 

I use Internet Rex for the fidonet over internet 
connections. 

Whether or not print screen works depends on the OS 
you are running and the program you are running. 

If you want to check into Fidonet send me an email 
with your area-code. I'll send you a file with the 
info about any nodes in your area.
