Hello Everyone..

In addition to the handy nodelist lookup that allows input for,

[1] node number, and
[2] sysop name

https://nodehist.fidonet.org.ua/



...there is *another one* that accepts lookup by,

[1] node number,
[2] sysop name (last name only),

*and*

[3] System name (even if it is only partial string for this input!)

Unlike the first lookup tool, the latter nodelist lookup outputs every  
instance of a match in every fidonet nodelist that ever existed.

You can read more about it from the top menu item [FIDONET +] dropdown  
item:

        Fido-History-Project

Apparently, the anticipation of the "project" was first mentioned in the  
FIDONEWS newsletter Volume 24, Number 11 (12 Mar 2007) (there's a link to  
that on the page.)

It appears that further progress stalled in 2011, but the NL lookup is  
quite an impressive feat for certain.  It is nice to see such a thing  
available.


While you are at the website, the top menu item [FIDONET +] drops down to

        Overview/ Fidonet on Smartphones

...with some screenshots of the various apps and links for more information  
on that subject.
