It's all the same "mainstream" software, just a different zone number and 
different netmail routing, is reall all it is. Some networks are dedicated to 
specific things, others just want to be separated from Fidonet (or some of the 
people in it - probably moreso in the past than currently). There are also a 
couple that get quite a bit more actual human traffic than Fidonet does, as 
well.

Think of it kind of like Linux. Not everyone wants to run Debian, that's why 
there are many other options available. :)

Regards,
Nick
