firstly, you might want to be aware that you posted this into the AMIGA

your post is also carrying your handle or nickname... most fidonet echos
require one's real name... either in the FROM field or as a signature...
you might want to bring this up with the sysop of the system you posted
from ;)

you don't have to have a modem to do fidonet these days... there are
several ways of using telnet to be able to get to your system as well as
connecting to other systems... depending on your OS, you might be able to
use virtual modem or virtual fossil package for this task :)

having a modem and landline, whether real copper or VoIP is a
GoodThing, though ;)

i'm leaving this info here so you'll know which system it was you posted
from in case you read this on another system ;)
