CS> The Russians for the most part worked in Korea or Vietnam and relised
CS> in Z2 (Europe but Russia was always considered Europe by Fidonet even
CS> if some of it is almost swimable from Alaska's outer islands). The
CS> Asian's lost their main feed around 1996 when the site in Singapore
CS> went down. Much of it limped along for many years. In 2001, there was
CS> little traffic from outside their own echos and Japan had recently
CS> closed shop (mailer still answers but no reply to netmail). I arrived
CS> there and set up cleaning region Japan then later when the Z6C was no
CS> longer reachable, took over after a remaining Z6 vote. I compined the
CS> remainder and helped it limp along until 2007 then with orders back
CS> stateside, transitioned the remaining ones to Z3 per their request.
CS> Somewhere around 2010-2011 we had our last notes from them then the NC
CS> in Z3 they were under shut down.
MV> There are some systems in Thailand.
CS> I'd love to see them here! Last one I knew of was Red (Hanrahan?).
CS> He and his son per local report were taken out by the Tsunami in 2003.
CS> I had been to their bar before on ship trips and on return later, it
CS> was bare of any building. I was told it was Red's place and he and his
CS> son were swept to sea with many others. (He's the only SYSOP we know
CS> of who was reported as lost in that huge death toll).
Sad. :-(
There are some Thai systems configured in android app
Lunaterm, but are impossible to read for me:
telnet://lqqm.net
telnet://ptt2.twbbs.org
telnet://newsmth.net
telnet://lilacbbs.com
telnet://lqqm.net
MV> Thank you, Carol.
MV> I understand a bit of english technician but to chat
MV> google translator has been a good friend. :-)
CS> Hehehe works for me! I'm sadly challanged with languages and in the
CS> end, am mono-lingual though as a child, did fair with conversational
CS> cuban version of spanish. Now I'm down to 'donde el banyo' and hoping
CS> they figured out I'm an idiot and want the ladies room!
:-DD
MV> ... Klingon prompt: Strike any user when ready.
CS> LOL!
