You are not limited to OLR's to access Fidonet.  Here are some instructions
on how to use your favorite NEWSREADER to read Fidonet echomail:

=======================================================
Read and Post to Fidonet Message Echoes From Your Favorite NEWSREADER.
=======================================================

Use your EXISTING
     Outlook Express
     Forte (Free)Agent
     S & H News Rover
     Mozilla Thunderbird
     Others ...

* From Anywhere

* No Massive Message Control Lines

* Messages Are 100% Pure Fidonet, Are NOT Gated To Or From Internet
Newsgroups Or Other Networks.

To GET STARTED....

[1] Configure your newsreader (or Internet Explorer too!) to point to:

    hub2000.darktech.org

[2] Use port 10119

[3] No logon (no name, no password) required!  Just setup anonymously.

Then try it!  If you followed the instructions properly, your newsreader
will automatically list the following newsgroup:

     +GETACCESS+

The +GETACCESS+ newsgroup contains further instructions on how to complete
your setup
and registration with the BBS.
