Hello nelgin!

That's it?  Hmmm..  no info on what "Fu" means?  Nothing  
specific that characterizes or distinquishes the network with  
another network?

From the FTN networks sheet:


38	FuNet	SiliconUnderground - siliconu.com:23 - https://www.fu- 
net.org/	Jason Bock	Active	2/6/2024		FuNet is an alternative  
network for use with FidoNet compatible software.	

So.. basically "an alternative" is the operative word.

According to its .NA list, mostly BBS support echos and OS/2  
and Linux chat echos.

FU_WAR_ZONE sounds like another POLITICS or FIDONEWS echo.
