-=> Quoting Eugene Tang to Greg Easthom <=-
-> ET>After an extended period without access to Fidonet, because the BBSes
-> ET>around here that I checked out didn't bother to renew their
emberhips,
-> All 82 in the current Fido Nodelist in area code 514?
ET> Problem is,
ET> 1. I lost my connection
ET> 2. Without a connection, I couldn't ask for a list
ET> 3. Without a list, I couldn't easily find FidoNet BBSes in 514
ET> So I used the most complete local area BBS list (maintained by
ET> Juxtaposition BBS, a FidoNet board, which I didn't join because it's
ET> so busy as to be impossible to logon to), and checked out the ones that
ET> said "FidoNet" on their description, or had what appeared to be a
ET> fidonet address in their description.
ET> Of those, some were long distance (instant scratch) everything is local>
ET> Some were down, closed, moved to another number without a Bell
ET> forwarding message, etc.
ET> Some didn't have a FidoNet connection anymore
ET> Some didn't respond to my requests for specific echoes (like this one)
ET> So, I had no FidoNet connection for quite a bit.
ET> Hmm, do you know if there's telnet BBSes where I can get Fido echoes?
ET> (over the Internet )
