[comp.unix.questions] FIdoNet

hsu@santra.UUCP (Heikki Suonsivu) (11/27/88)

Spaghetti, inefficient, quick hacks, 32 bits required, SysV (386 and
68020 tried), long to-do list, maybe works as a gateway (untested),
interfaces with news (echomail), runs on unix as normal fidonet node,
does sealink but not arcmail, I use it every day.  Not originally
written by me, though I apparently took care of most debugging and
built some parts of it (zones etc).

For me-toos mail to 
Inet: hsu@santra ................. Kuutamokatu 5 A 7
Uucp: ...!mcvax!santra!hsu ....... 02210 Espoo .....
Fido: Heikki Suonsivu at 2:504/1 . FINLAND .........

I there is enough interest, I try to get it posted!

Look in the maps for entries with the fidonet domain.  Those systems
are gateways from into the various fidonet networks scattered
around the world.  

Currently I am not aware of any fidonet package that runs under unix/xenix -
but there is a package called ufgate that runs under dos that allows a complete
usenet/fidonet gateway to gate to/from a unix site using uucp and into
the fidonet world using Binkleyterm or any DOS mailer.
