   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
