FOOD FOR THOUGHT
=================================================================
Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person
is like expecting a bull not to attack you because you are a
vegetarian.

Fidonet from Frank's Point of View
By Frank Vest
1:124/6308(.1)
What the heck is Fidonet supposed to be? That has been a question and
debate for a long time.
Fidonet is a group of service providers. Fidonet Nodes provide access
to Fidonet via their Bulletin Boards, support of Points or other
means. We are "Fidonet Service Providers" (FSPs) If one considers
this, it becomes obvious.
BBS:
BBS software accepts connections from clients. It is a server.
FTN MAILERS:
FTN mailers are a combination server/client since they can connect to
other servers and accept connections from clients.
CLIENTS:
Software that accesses the BBS server or FTN mailer are clients. They
connect to a server, but do not accept connections from other
servers/clients.
SYSOP:
The person that maintains the FTN system(s) that clients or
client/servers use to access Fidonet.
NODE:
A FTN (Fidonet) Service Provider. IE: FSP
NODE NUMBER:
The FTN address of a Sysop that operates a FTN Mailer.
NODELIST:
The official file that contains the information on the Nodes in
Fidonet. The Fidonet "phone book", if you will.
POINT:
A person/user that accesses Fidonet via a FTN mailer, but does not
provide access to other clients or users.
USER:
A person that accesses the FTN system via client software for the
purpose of posting messages, gathering files, playing games.
Figuring out which is a server and which is a client, who is a user
and who is a Sysop and/or who is a Node and who is not, can be
interesting to say the least. :)
Let's dive into this. I've been beaten, flamed and otherwise abused
FIDONEWS 21-27 Page 3 5 Jul 2004
before. What the heck. :)
I suppose that one way to discover what is what, who is who, would be
to use a kind of "reverse engineering".
Question: What service do you provide to Fidonet?
A. Do you operate a Fidonet BBS or other server that provides access
to Fidonet?
B. Do you operate a Fidonet (FTN) Mailer?
1. with a Nodelisted Fidonet address?
C. Do you provide access to other users via your system?
D. Are you a programmer that provides FTN programs? Or, Are you a
programmer of support software that is used for/with/by FTN software?
Or, Do you offer official support for the above mentioned programs?
Or, Do you provide mail feeds to other Fidonet Nodes?
If no to all the above, then you are a user.
If no to A, C and D. Then you are a Point
If no to A and C, you can be either a Point, support or private Node.
If no to A, B, and C, then you are still a user. ;)
Of course, there are exceptions to this, but they /are/ "exceptions"
and /not/ the rule. :)
What about other types of access to Fidonet? NNTP?
If all you do is access a NNTP server with your NNTP client to read
and reply to Fidonet echomail, then you are a user. IOW; you don't
operate a server. That answers no to A, B and C. Even if you answer
yes to D, you're still a user.. :)
Yes, you can argue that you operate a NNTP server and give access to
others. Now, did you answer yes to B and B1? :) You see, a Point
doesn't have a Nodelisted Fidonet address either, but they do operate
a FTN Mailer. <wink>
I'm not trying to degrade users. In fact, I would like to see more
users making use of the services that Fidonet provides and more Nodes
in Fidonet. However, if your purpose in asking for a Node number is to
inflate your ego, have bragging rights, and/or read and reply to
messages, please stay a user and access Fidonet message areas via a
BBS, Point or other user methods. We Fidonet Service Providers need
you in this capacity. :)
One thing that Fidonet doesn't need is a bunch of Nodes that don't
operate FTN servers, provide Fidonet access to others and/or have any
clue what they are talking about, telling us how to "fix" all the
problems in Fidonet.

IN THE SNOOZE TEN YEARS AGO
=================================================================
A Report on Guam's Trials and Tribulations
Guam, Fido, Internet, Guahanet
Contributor: Todd Cochrane 6:670/6
Guam, were the %@&# is Guam? Well that is the response most of us here
have heard from time to time. Guam is approx 7500 miles SW of Hawaii.
Luckily Guam is the Hub for several TransPacific Fiber Cables. Thus
data communications are possible at normal transfer speeds...
A group of us decided a few years ago that we wanted to bring the
world of fido to our 650 plus users. But the history of making that
possible was interesting. Our troubles started In 1991 when Guahnet
(our local network) attempted to get initial node numbers. We were
treated like ROTTEN STEP CHILDREN that had the PLAGUE no one wanted.
We first went to Hawaii and they helped us out reluctantly in getting
initial node numbers. Then about a month later the Fido Power Mongers
decided that Guam a US territory should not be in Zone 1. They then
deleted us from the Nodelist!! We sent Netmail messages off to
Australia and Japan to see who wanted the Guam bastard children we
really felt that way. After several months we ended up in Zone 6 and
have had permanent node numbers since...
Getting the final Node numbers took over a year. I bet were the only
US Territory to have a Zone 6 node number, 6:671 to be exact.
Like all networks outside the Continental US getting Echo-Mail is a
pain. 1. Calling Japan cost over $2.00 per minute 2. Calling Australia
was over $3.00 per minute. 3. Calling the Mainland is $1.00 per
minute. Easy choice go with the Mainland. The second problem was to
find a system that was willing to feed us Echo Mail. Thank goodness
for old friends and the cooperative network our feed belongs to.
The cost are still hard to swallow. We were running bills as high as
$1000.00 monthly on long distance. We have been lucky to pull a few
dozen echoes on a CRP. The majority of Guam BBS Operators are military
and do not have a high amount of disposable income. Plus military
folks move every 2-3 yrs thus we changed host for awhile like one
would change under ware.
Then the Internet came to Guam at a semi affordable price (Thank God)
Several of us Sysops have set up UUCP feeds and started sucking on
usenet and reliable E-mail like it was going out of style. Because of
the small amount of Fido Echo mail and the cost to bring it in
anything was great. Being most of us have grew up on Fido Echo Mail we
missed the clean almost always on topic Echo mail. Just imagine
yourself pulling the full backbone one week none for the next year
then only getting a few dozen echoes for another year it SUCKS..
We may have come up with a solution to the lack of Fido Echo Mail
since the Internet provider recently has established a full time 57.6k
line to the Mainland. We are going to pull the full load through the
FIDONEWS 21-27 Page 6 5 Jul 2004
Internet via a UUCP connection to the host then pump it to the network
and distribute like everyone else. It is my understanding that Zone 2
& 6 receive there echo mail this way now with permission from all
parties involved.
Easy enough, but now the quandary continues. Most of the Major BBS
here are once again on the move including myself. Back to the states
(jumping for joy) the land of the stable power supply and low long
distance cost. Were a Fido feed is Usually a local call away.
The users want the entire backbone, the Sysops want it also. So with
luck and a little patience it will happen. So this is a small segment
of Fido in Guam. I believe the Network is here to stay and will
continue to grow.
To those of you that really helped us in beginning Thank you. For the
ZC's & RC's that told us to bugger off well I would hope when some
other small territory or country get's online that you help them
instead of thumbing your noses..
I am a Sysop on the move. I have a added note people complain about
systems that are flagged DOWN in the nodelist well we will be DONE for
6 weeks. If you have ever moved it is a lot easier to get a new node
number if you already have one.
Look forward to coming to the 1:2612 area and fighting the looming
echo mail delivery and associated cost there.. If you have been
following the Fido Echo's you will know what I am referring too..

How to Submit an Article
If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
will appear in the Fidonews:
a) Plain ASCII text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's
probably quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.
b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
personal comments.
c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 12:00 UTC.
Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
extension of the correct subject on the file name if known..

If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.
If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
can not fix and I need your help on it.

IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
folder.
Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
That way I will know to look for it.
