thats got to be pretty dang frustrating.

I hope to be a carry of fidonet, but I do want some other networks as well, like fsxnet.

Fidonet is part of bbs hobby.

One thing I don't understand about it, is why becoming part of it is so difficult. Dovenet was so streamlined. Seems to be to keep that fidonet alive and healthy having nodes and participation is part of a healthy network.

Of course I don't have a node and I haven't been able to participate in it like  others have yet so I don't really know much about having a node. I hope to gain more understanding if I get a net node.

There are a lot of networks out there and many of them seem very interesting.
