Right On Kay,

KS>Actually it's fairly easy to get at FIDOnet off the internet - just find a 
BBS
KS>that's set up to reach via telnet.  A number of these are listed in the
KS>nodelist; there are two just in my own net (net 102):

KS>You can also set up as a point, that being a private BBS that only needs to 
be
KS>on line when you poll for your mail.  Which can be to a bossnode over the
KS>phone, or you can even get it over the internet where a lot of mail gets
KS>carried anyway.  You can even set it up to automatically do this at whatever
KS>time you feel like, just like a regular BBS.  For that matter, if you have a
KS>BBS you can call but you're worried about your phone bill, a simple off line
KS>reader saves you a lot of time - you dial up, it downloads new mail in 
whatever
KS>echoes you're reading plus your netmail, and you hang up again.

Sure is nice to hear these old words again.  Points have received
such a bad rap, but they're often starting places from which BBS's
come from.

Do you run a RPG Related BBS?
