Well, we grew again!  Everyone should now note that the FIDO
Freemasonry echo has now been merged with FMnet!  FMnet! was
established over a year ago as a stand alone BBS network to the BBS
world.  We later picked up an Internet Listserv function which was
recently expanded into a Newsgroup.  Please note that it is still all
of the above.  We cross-post everything between the BBS network,
Listserv and Newsgroup on Internet.

Now the network is being cross-posted on the FIDO Freemasonry echo as
well.

The intense reality of this event is remarkable.  This venture is now
avaialble to practically every BBS system as well as every user of
the Internet.  Commercial systems such as Delphi, Genie, Compuserve
and AOL also carry us through their Internet gateways.  This
literally makes us the most modem accessible masonic communications
venture available.  It literally brings Masonry one big step closer
to the universal brotherhood it was intended to be.  Within hours
practically any mason with a modem can now communicate with his
brothers around the world.

The merging with The FIDO Freemasonry echo was a logical and needed
move.  They offer FMnet! the needed coverage we never had in the BBS
world through our own stand alone system.  FMNet! offers FIDO's
Freemasonry echo the benefit of Internet interaction.  This is
something I'm sure they would have done eventually but since we were
already doing it, it was only logical that we become one system and
accomplish all of this growth now by simply cross-posting between the
two systems.

On behalf of the FMnet! users I would like to say thanks to the FIDO
Freemasonry people for allowing us to ride the backbone of the mighty
FIDO network with you and also extend a hearty welcome to you all as
you begin to "surf" the Internet with us.
