   I've been a BBS sysop on and off for the past 30 years. One thing that I've   
   never accomplished is setting up a message network such as Fidonet.   
      
   I'm using Mystic BBS, which appears to make the whole process easier than in   
   the old days, and I'm in the middle of reading the Fido policy4 file.   
      
   So, I want to "obtain a current nodelist" so that I can send mail (my request   
   to join) but where can I find the nodelist? I checked the Fidonet website,   
   and it has "Nodelist History Lookup," but I don't know what to type in there,   
   I tried a few sysop real names that I know of, but it doesn't find them.   
      
   If anyone feels like sharing advice on this with me, please do, and thank you!
