       ak> But where do fidoweb sites take messages?               The same way every FTN system does.               ak> can read and post to Fidonet. But it looks like a fidoweb gate e.i. it        ak> gets messages as a Fidonet node (using FTN protocol for instance), and        ak> then it copies them to the web site, and any Internet user can read it.               That's a completely different matter, exporting messages from NNTP to HTTP       -- usually not the other way around even if that too exists.               ak> So FTN Fidonet remains the main carrier anyway?               It's the *only* way our messages are carried around. From one FTN tosser to       many others.              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101125        * Origin: news://felten.yi.org (2:203/2)    |
