Hi, All!

The work done by Tom Jennings in 1983-84 resulted in a bulletin board system (BBS) called "Fido because the assorted hardware together was a real mongrel". The software linkage between 2 systems became a network and spawned the name FidoNet. The use of 2 capital letters is correct and is a (now expired) trademark. The program has also been called FIDONET (by Ben Baker) but that wasn't what was trademarked by Tom.

Cheers... Dallas
