Hi & welcome, Carlos! Recently you wrote in a message to alexander koryagin:

Yes, it's the original spelling of the name.
CN> 5. FIDOnet
I've seen names of other networks spelled in a similar way... but I believe this generally occurs when the letters preceding "net" are an acronym, i.e. an abbreviation derived from initial letters &/or syllables.
In the (now defunct) ADAnet, e.g., "ADA" meant "American Disability Association". "Fido" isn't an abbreviation in this context. :-)
