|    Get Back to FidoNet    |

      Hi Everyone,              It's been 20 something years since the last time I used FidoNet, and for       the last few months I am having a really bad nostalgia about the good-old       days. It was a wonderful time of discovery of OS/2, which, in my opinion,       had the best FTN Software. I think that my favorite editor was called       FleetStreet. I remember I was using T-Mail as a packer/mailer, FastEcho       as scanner/tosser, and GoldEd for text mode editing. I am not even sure       if T-Mail and FleetStreet was ever used in the United States, as I was       living in the zone 2 back than. I was trying to remember my old point       number, but I can't get past the node. 2:460/35.xx... It is not important       though, even the parts I can remember giving me enough flashbacks :)              What I really wanted to find out, is if it's possible to set up working       FidoNet point software package these days, getting a new account and get       reinstated as FidoNet point? :) I mean replacing the dial up part with       something internet based obviously, and keep the rest working more or       less as it was before? Nostalgia sake. I've got myself a "retro" 166MMX       Pentium laptop, which I am about to turn into a little Time Machine.              I was pretty much surprised finding working BBS, which gave me a little       hope that there might be still working nodes out there...              My apologies if I picked the wrong board to post this message or wrote       something off the topic.              Best regards,       Roma       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fido Since 1991 | QWK by Web | BBS.DOCSPLACE.ORG (1:123/140)    |
