FtN Networking
Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2026 5:34 pm
ok so after reading several requests over the years i have decided to dive into this headfirst...
we just need to create an importer and an exporter. wg more than likely uses Hudson msg format which is dated but still supported
and utilizing binkd and fastecho i see no reason why we cannot accomplish this.
so, all you sysops who are familiar with ftn networking this is where you can come in and pour any info you have
few things i will need to accomplish is utilizing first name last name fields on a bbs to follow some net rules such as no aliases allowed
and i remember WAAAAY back in like 94 a guy net door had an old bbs package sending and receiving mail so i know we can do the same.
its just gonna be about learning the technology any ALOT of trial and error...
so i will apply for a node number so i have a place to start and go from there.
so heres to fidonet compatibility in 2026!
