   Hello!   
      
   I am doing research into the Ham Radio and BBS intersections, and as I started   
   out with FidoNet in the late 1980's I am making the first reachout for   
   information on that   
   old FidoNet itself.   
      
   You can catch some of my writings at http://k9zw.wordpress.com    
      
   Where I am interested is (for both FidoNet and for BBS in general:   
      
   Does the reduced bandwidth offer any benefits?   
   Can you do this completely over HF for the final connection?   
   Is there anything unique that comes over this system compared to the usual   
   website internet?   
   Does this offering work better for those using reading aids or voice to text   
   aids?   
   Are there other advantages to the ASCII format that are useful?   
   Any other insights into what makes this special?   
      
   I am good at QRZ.com and you can always email me at k9zw@arrl.net to get a   
   dialogue started.
