   Hi Ward,   
      
   I never wanted to upset you or something.   
   But history starts back in 2013 when you never answered my e-mail.    
   I don't want to sound ungrateful for what you done for me, and I do thank you   
   once again for helping me in 2017 and allowing me to re-join FidoNet.    
   Here is the thread from 2013: (and yes, I thought Janis was a guy).   
      
   Best regards,   
   Andrei.

   Subject: FW: Zone 1 Node Number Application Form   
      
   Hello Mr. Dossche,   
      
   I would like to know what can I do in order to become a FidoNet point (and be   
   able to receive FidoNet mail + access to the FidoNet groups).   
   As far I as know, there are no more nodes on NET 530 (Romania), so that's why   
   I contacted you, as instructed by Mr. Kracht.    
      
   Back in the days (1997) I used to be a point on Catalin Ionescu's BBS:   
   2:530/301.10 (if I remember correctly) and even had access to the Fido to   
   Internet gateway of those days (since we had an ISP who provided only   
   UUCP-based e-mail): andrei.rachita@contact.pcnet.ro.   
      
   For the moment I'm not thinking about setting up a BBS, but would like to have   
   access to the wealth of information I used to have with FidoNet topics.   
      
   Could you please provide me more info about how to setup ARGUS, RADIUS or   
   BINKD for getting FidoNet e-mail ? (do I need to dial-in a BBS or is it doable   
   via TCP/IP).   
      
   Looking forward for your e-mail.   
      
   Best regards,   
   Andrei Rachita

   Hello Andrei!   
      
   Thank you for sending an application to join Fidonet!   
      
   Contact the Zone 2 Coordinator, Ward Dossche at wd@skynet.be.? He will be able   
   to find a good place for your node in the nodelist.   
      
   I can answer questions you may have about mailers and echomail tossers though   
   :)   
      
   Most of us are using the binkp protocol to connect with our mailers.    
   If you are running Windows, ARGUS, RADIUS, and BINKD mailers support binkp.    
   If you are running a linux system, you can use the linux version of BINKD.   
      
   Are you going to set up a bbs?   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
