At some point in the early/mid-1990s, I became aware of FIDO but, like WWIVnet, I think I assumed incorrectly that you had to be running an Opus or FIDO BBS to carry it.  Even after I added a few smaller FTNs, I didn't really interested in it until c2000 when the software-specific network my BBS was on, GT Power Net, started dying off due to the lack of software updates and an aging network population.
