Here's a small sample from a decade ago: FTN is a pain -- most of my othernets use QWK, and even the newest sysop with little experience can set up a QWK node very quickly. It took me a day to add 3 QWK othernets and 3 days to get a mailer set up and coordinate with my hub to get Fidonet going. And I've been doing this since 1990!
