Hello Michiel,

MvdV> So your Pi is the operational Fido system.

Ok.

HD>>>> Some guys of our othernet AcoNet wrote FTN BBCscan software for
HD>>>> the 8 bit Acorn BBC B computers to communicatie with FidoNet
HD>>>> systems.

Not as a BBS user or a Point but as a Mailer.

HD>> Our Acorn BBC B's could do later on with BBCscan.

MvdV> Still not a Fidonet node...

We had at least 4 sysops both AcoNet and FidoNet with 8 Bit Acorn BBC machines,
one even an Acorn Electron, and that guy Richard Splinter even wrote his own
BBS program CBBS for his Electron.

HD>>>> That was at the end of the 80's start of the 90's.

MvdV>>> If that Acorn BBS system was really a Fidonet system, what was
MvdV>>> its node number and in which period was it in the Fidonet
MvdV>>> nodelist?

HD>> I donot know the Node numbers,

Yesterday I saw a file with Both AcoNet and FidoNet nodenumbers including sysop
names and phonenumbers, but today I could not find it anymore :-(.
some time i'll see it later. Memory is a difficult matter ;-(.

HD>> but the first one was Evert Snel, he later on moved from The Hague to
HD>> Eindhoven area and transferred his body to become a female,
HD>> they call such people transgenders.

MvdV> Your point?

(S)he was for a long time our AcoNet host and also had a FidoNet node number.
He wrote BBCscan for tossing and scanning mail from/to PKT for both AcoNet and
FidoNet.

Henri.
