Contrast with Fidonet - "Find a regional coordinator, set up your system
with a /9999 address, poll them, and wait an indeterminate time for
instructions..."

"You want a list of echoes? Google Fidonet echoes, and hopefully you'll
find the updated web page."

Now, I'm liking the idea of a Fidonet infopack with as much timely
information as we can muster and clear instructions.



... What do you think of the guests?
