      Hi, Bj”rn Felten!       I read your message from 29.04.2014 14:56               ak>> Just for the sake of interest. I found out that I know little        ak>> about the NNTP network.               BF> Well, it's been described in detail in Fidonews articles for a        BF> couple of years. Just make sure you do not read the fake Z1        BF> version.               BF> There's no big deal here, really. What matters is that many of us        BF> JamNNTPd sysops are also taking part of the newly created Fidoweb,        BF> where we all connect to each other and don't give a damn about        BF> dups.              But where do fidoweb sites take messages? I visited such a site where I can       read and post to Fidonet. But it looks like a fidoweb gate e.i. it gets       messages as a Fidonet node (using FTN protocol for instance), and then it       copies them to the web site, and any Internet user can read it.               BF> So, no, even if half of the JamNNTPd systems went down, you still        BF> would be able to maintain 100% connectivity with the rest of the        BF> Fidonet world.               BF> Whaddaya think about that, huh? 8-)              So FTN Fidonet remains the main carrier anyway?              Bye, Bj”rn!       Alexander Koryagin       JAMNNTPD 2014              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:17.0) Gecko/20130328 Thunderbird/17.0.5        * Origin: news://felten.yi.org (2:203/2)    |
