   alexander koryagin to Tommi Koivula   
   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!
