|    question about NNTP    |

      Hi, Tommi Koivula -> alexander koryagin!       I read your message from 30.04.2014 21:40       about question about NNTP.               ak>> But where do fidoweb sites take messages? I visited such a site        ak>> where I can read and post to Fidonet. But it looks like a fidoweb        ak>> gate e.i. it gets messages as a Fidonet node (using FTN protocol for        ak>> instance), and then it copies them to the web site, and any Internet        ak>> user can read it.               TK> You may think that the nntp server (jamnntpd) is only a way to        TK> read/write fidonet messages. Everything is pure fidonet, no gateways.        TK> There are also many other ways, like telnettable bbs's or www-based bbs's.               TK> How fidonet mail is transferred between fidonet systems, that's another        TK> story. :)              I see. In other words if USENET is switched off completely, Fidonet NNTP       servers will work anyway. All their messages go withing Fidonet.              Bye, Tommi!       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)    |
