I doubt there is one, but if there is, you should be able to find it on one 
of the several web sites concerning Fidonet.. I don't have a place to start 
right offhand.
Do note that it also describes itself as a set of FAQs for "the" backbone, 
implying that the NAB is the only game in town. Most of the definitions have 
been reworded from their original forms, which definitely tried to give that 
mis-impression.
