For those that asked, adn those that didn't, heres how to send e-mail to and from Fidonet using Internet style addressing If you are on Internet adn want to reach someone on Fidonet, the Internet equivalent to use when sending is "firstname.lastname"@p"point".f"node".n"net".z"zone".fidonet.org Note: insert the recipient's info where the quotes are, do not include the quote marks So for example , if the person you want to send e-mail to has a fidonet address of David.Smith 1:222/333.4 His internet style address is david.smith@p4.f333.n222.z1.fidonet.org Note: most times you won't have to deal with the p, in this case the 4, since most times people don't use the p, or point, in an addresss. Just for reference, David Smith's point =4, f=333, n=222, z=1. AN easy way to remember is that the Internet takes the fidonet address backwards. One last note, p means point - not often used; f is the node, meaning fidonet node; n is the net, and z measn zone and the part that you append is fidonet.org, which is the Internet "headquarters" so to speak for fidonet mail coming from Internet. This is an excerpt -sort of- from our new NetPower Network Resource Guide, coming off the press in a few weeks. 460 pages, free diskette of additional softwaare, starter kits for commercial services; total information on use of BBSs adn Internet, reviews of all major networks inc. Fidonet - all with a focus on educational value, but of terrific value for anyone involved in computers. $32.50 Please contact National Education & Technology Alliance for more info. neta@holonet.net Thank You
