That's good to know, that it's much simpler on our side.

But Jesus Christ, FidoNet is still doing things the slow, complicated way  I
just looked at the policy doc, and they're still using policy docs from
1989!!!!  I enjoyed being part of Fidonet, but damn if they aren't some of the
most stubborn, resistant to change, overly officious people.

Sorry, rant over.

They still aren't making it easy to join their networks.  Looking over the
nodelist, I'm still not sure how to tell my system *where* to send email to
just to get started.  The WWIV docs are retty straight forward on setting
things up, but the Fidonet nodelist looks even more confusing than it did 30
years ago when I first joined it.

Sigh.
