   > You're confusing Fidonet domains with Internet domains.   
   SH> I'm guessing that a fidonet domain would be 1:229/426   
      
   No. A Fidonet address can be made up of 4 or 5 parts or "dimensions".   
      
   1:229/426.0 is a 4-part address. Zone 1, Net 229, Node 426 and Point zero.   
      
   1:229/426.0@fidonet is a 5-part address. The 5th part is the Fidonet domain,    
   usually no more than 8 characters. It is usually not an Internet domain but    
   a mutually-agreed upon domain between systems.   
      
   Explaining this further would likely be off-topic...
