HOT NEWS
The new years first newsletter ... more and more
articles and ads every week. One complaint from a few
people: not too much of interest to general users, so far
all articles have been from Sysops. While that is fine,
maybe encourage a few users to send articles? FidoNews is
NOT only for sysops, it is for anyone.
Still looking for a name for the FidoNet Users
Group. As mentioned last week, the idea is to find a name of
four words, such that F I D O is an acronoym, as well as the
first word ... recursive name.
With the European and Asian traffic building up,
probably the second word should be International. So ...
F ido
I nternational
D ???
O ???

Article (Warning?) Submitted by David Horowitz (SysOp 317)
As many of you already know, Fido does not care if the file
name is listed in the FILES.BBS file. If the user knows the
name of the file or does a wildcard download he can get the
file.
What is prompting me to write this is that I just realized
that he does not even have to know the name of the file. Any
user can do an *.* find (ie. L *.*). With this a user can
get a 'raw display' of every file area he has access to.
[ED. Note: L (nor F) does not list RawFiles, ie. the actual files on
the disk. It lists only the contents of FILES.BBS. Unless the R command
is low enough privelege, users cannot get a list of files.
It is correct though, that download *.* >WILL< be able to download any
files in the directory, and selective download (like "USER.BBS") works
too. ]
This just brings out the very important fact that you should
never keep Licenced (Non-public Domain) software in any user
accesable area.
This has also prompted me to make the raw display command a
normal privelaged command. Since it is very easy to get
files that should not be there in the first place, I might as
well make the users life a little easier. Since the
fidonews -- 06 Jan 85 21:33:11 Page 4
FILES.BBS file takes a long time to display, and often has a
lot of text that has already been read countless times.
I would also like to ask other SysOps to do the same thing.
When looking around Fido Systems many of the files are the
same. On almost every system I have to read the same
descriptions over and over again. I am sure you see the
redundancy in this. That's all I have to say, and to any
Sysop that does make R(aw display a normal privelage command
- thanks in advance.

800 for Fido!
In the December 24th edition of "FidoNews," there was an article
discussing the feasability of running FidoNet through an 800 number.
This particular idea interested me so I did some studying. The only company
currently capable of running an 800 number is AT & T. The rate schedule was
run down in the previous article but for a short synopsis...
Installation : 366.95
Monthly Service: 36.80
Usage Charges / Hour: 9.22 (11PM - 8 AM) (All Weekend)
Let us figure that the computer (& 800 number) would be used 10% (a modest
estimate) of the time.
Monthly Charge : 36.80
(10% of the time) :342.98 (Hey Guys! I got that without Sidekick!)
Total Chage :379.78
Figuring on 150 nodes in 3 months (prospective start date..)
at mandatory participation : 2.53 per month
at eighty percent : 3.16 per month
Very marginal results you must say...
Part II -- Initial Set-Up
I, Brian Driscoll, propose that we (all of us crazy sysops), donate
a system to be used as the 800 fido connection. I propose that the system
should be an IBM PC. This system should be put in either of two places:
1) In the state with the fewest Fido Boards (800 does not include home state)
2) Given to the beloved and exalted author (that's you Tom. .. ) to be
run from California. He deserves it... (Maybe .. Maybe not...)
The system would be purchased through The Pacesetter Company (that's me..).
The system will cost wholesale cost..... for exact figures.. see below
1 IBM PC w/ 2 DS/DD Drives : 1488.35
1 AST 6-PAK w/ 384K, etc...: 385.00
1 20 MB Internal Hard Disk : 825.00 (Approx.)
1 Monochrome Set : 325.00 (Approx.) (Montior + Card)
Total Cost : 3023.35
+ 800 installation : 366.95
3390.30
divided by 120 sysops (80%) : 28.25 per node
fidonews -- 06 Jan 85 21:33:19 Page 5
Part III -- Secondary Expansion
Secondary Expansion would be solved by the additional funds received
by new sysops (and nodes). In this way, we can build an account that will
earn interest (if put in a bank). This would provide for further expansion
and necessary money for any repairs.
Part IV -- MSPRINT Service --
The only other alternative available would be to go with Sprint. This
requires a serparate access code for each specific area. This is very
similar to calling CompuServe ... to go this way...
Installation : 45.00
Monthly Charge: 15.00
Usage per hour: 7.24
A little bit cheaper than AT & T ...
Monthly Service : 15.00
(10% of the time):269.32 (800 Number used 10% of the time)
Total :284.32
Cost for mandatory use (150 sysops) : 1.90
Cost for 80 % use (120 sysops) : 2.37
As you can see this would be a good deal cheaper than going with AT & T.
Part V - The End
I have (hopefully) explained the basic ideas behind 800 use. My facts
and figures were given to me by AT & T and Sprint respectively. They do
differ with Mr. Baker's report. I am not sure of the reason for this. Next
week, I will try to delve into the possibility of using a 800 number for a
national Fido Connection (CompuServe-like).
All Comments should be directed to:

Thanks for all your time and effort in reading this report. Hopefully,
you have gained something out of it. (other than a few good yawns)
Thanks again,

From: Jon Tara on FIDO92
Subject: 800 number
I can spot a few flaws in Ben Baker's (FIDO 10) suggestion of
a national FIDOnet server:
1) The figures he has quoted sound optimisticaly low. I checked
into 800 service a couple of months ago, and the costs were
much higher. I can't find my notes, and I'm not willing to
go through the hassle I went through to get them the first
time, so I can't quote exact figures. It was more like $10/hr
night though. The 5.40/hr figure may be based on a certain
(very high) volume. Other companies provide "800-like" service,
by the way. You dial a local access number, then a six-digit
code. Costs are generally a bit lower than ATT (but still not
as low as $5.40/hr) and you can have it dial-in to a hunt
sequence, with no limit on the number of simultaneous calls.
2) I doubt that FIDOnet currently has sufficient volume to support
such a service. Once newsletter distribution is perfected
fidonews -- 06 Jan 85 21:33:27 Page 6
and we get a few different newsletters flying around, maybe
it will.
3) Billing 50-100 systems is going to be a major hassle.
4) The twit factor. This is the real killer. Some twit is
GOING to find out the 800-number and dial-in constantly.
FIDOnet hangs up if contact isn't established, but that
takes at least 30 seconds. With an autodialer, said twit(s)
could insure that we get billed for 90% or so of the time
that the system is able to receive calls, and at no cost
to them!
I think, rather, that the key to low-cost FIDOnet service is finding
the right long-distance company, and pooling local nodes to qualify for
volume discounts. (For example, I use Telemarketing Communications
Corp. They aren't very big, so their service is unfortunately available
in a few cities - check your yellow pages. They lease ATT Watts lines
(not a satellite or microwave network, although presumably ATT makes
use of those at times) bill in six-second increments with no one-minute
minimum or additional first minute charge. My maximum message cost
anywhere in the U.S. is 8 cents.)
There are also many corporate and academic phone networks and
leased lines and trunks which get little use at night, where FIDOnodes
could be set up. The biggest problem with these right now, though,
is that you need nodes on both ends to get a two-way link. I would
urge Tom to go ahead and add two-way message exchange capability,
so that we could take advantage of those links. There should be some
capability to designate nodes to "poll" whether there is outgoing
traffic or not, so that incoming messages could be picked up on a
regular basis.Article for FidoNet News

Sysop Fido #346
San Jose, CA
As a followup to some of the suggestions raised in the 31 Dec
Newsletter:
1. (Minor Point): If possible, please adopt a naming scheme for
the newsletter files that identifies each issue with a unique
name that makes archiving them a little easier.
2. I agree with the suggestion for "picking up mail", "polling",
or whatever you wish to call it. We are all using 1200 baud (and
I would guess 2400 baud in the near future) full duplex modems,
yet all file transfers use half duplex protocols. Would it
actually be feasible for two Fido's to swap mail files at the
same time (in full duplex)? Of course, the length of the total
phone call would be dictated by whichever end has the longest
file to send.
The accounting system would have to CREDIT and debit based on the
adjusted transfer. I.E. if node #5 calls node #6 and sends 3
messages but retrieves 5, node #5 should have a net credit of 2
fidonews -- 06 Jan 85 21:33:35 Page 7
messages on node #6. Could get very tricky quickly.
3. (More reasonable) I would like to see a separate dialing
parameter file for specifying long distance dialing. Currently,
the nodelist file must be manually edited to adjust for: the
local area code (other local nodes must not have area codes in
their phone numbers), the type of long distance dialing (some
parts of the country prefix long-distance calls with a "1",
others do not), and possible local pbx codes (outside lines from
office phones may require an "8", or a "9". Finally, some
systems, (unfortunately a Rolm switch where I work), require an 8
digit (more or less) access code. Thus the whole dialing
sequence might be "8,12345678,(415)-555-1212". By putting this
"user dependent" dialing stuff in a separate file, the master
node list would not have to be changed by anyone.
The "DIALING.BBS" file might have:
local area code: 408
local dialing prefix string: 8, (comma is "Hayes" pause)
long distance dialing prefix string: 8,12345678,
Of course, the dialing routines in FidoNet would know to read the
parameter file and adjust the dialed number accordingly.
3A. (low priority) If the goal of #3 is allow distribution of a
virgin nodelist, one might also argue to keep the costs in
another file so that each Sysop could adjust the cost for sending
mail without changing the main nodelist file. Personally, I
don't think this is as much of a problem or could be handled
later if needed.
4. (Not really a suggestion) Being a bit new to Fido, let me
ask a question which borders on the "yet another request for a
gateway" but hopefully won't be a direct request.
Assume that you know FidoNet will only be sending mail/files to
one other node. (Can be contrived by using a special schedule
with only two nodes enabled). Can one stop Fido after it
prepares the outgoing packet before it actually sends it, then
using a non Fido means (like manually XMODEM'ing) transfer the
file to the destination node (which is NOT running Fido at the
moment), and finally, when Fido is started in the receiving node
could it process the incoming packet not knowing that it was sent
in this round-about way?
Now that I have totally confused everyone, let me explain the
(possibly convoluted) reasoning behind this. If two Sysops, say
one on the West Coast and one on the East coast agree to act as a
manual gateway, if this technique worked, it might be possible to
create a very viable super-gateway without months and months of
modifications to Fido (or perhaps only slight changes to make
this work.)
Why would this be useful in place of the normal FidoNet mail
link? Well, what if these two sysops each have access to a
"private, but zero-cost or low-cost communications link" that
they have permission to use? This would allow them to gateway
fidonews -- 06 Jan 85 21:33:43 Page 8
mail between other nodes without having to sacrifice the security
of their private link thereby losing the privilege.
Since the link is private, it would never use the same protocol
that FidoNet uses (this is a response to the question "if Fido
software could be enhanced with complete gateway support, why
would this private-manual-link ever be needed?").
A quote that many of us are familiar with is "Imitation is the
sincerest form of flattery". A corollary that is suitable for
readers of this newsletter and TJ is "requests for enhancements
are the sincerest form of thank-you for a useful program".
Thanks Tom for a wonderful package. AS IS it is great.
Improvements only make it better and better.
