     6DWN  The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
     DOWN  This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6
     PM    Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
           capability but is not listed or does not advertise an
           IPv6 address in the Fidonet nodelist yet.

     Notes:

     To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
     one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
     node config for binkd up to 1.1a-96, -64 option for binkd 1.1a-97
     and up).  If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
     (2002::/16) many OSs default to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.

                           JAMNNTPD SERVERS LIST
     =================================================================

                 The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project

     This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
     the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.

     You connect to them using the newsreader of your choice and you don't
     need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless of
     operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours.

     Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get
     your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to
     your job, school or whatever.

                            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 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, 22:00 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.

     Ideas for Subject areas:

         Subject                  File |      Subject                 File
     ----------------------------------|----------------------------------
      From the *C's              *.css |  Rebuttals to articles      *.reb
      Fidonet Regional News      *.reg |  Fidonet Net News           *.net
      Retractions                *.rtx |  General Fidonet Articles   *.art
      Guest Editorial            *.gue |  Fidonet Current Events     *.cur

      Best of Fidonet            *.bof |  Letters to the Editor      *.let

     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.

     Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:

                 Björn Felten
     Fidonet     2:2/2 or 2:203/0
     E-Mail      b @ felten dot se
     Skype file  bfelten

     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.
