Ok, here's the problem.  I'm dealing with a person who knows a lot about
computers, but not too much about the internet and fidonet.  He has an
account on the Fifth Dimension BBS in the Philadelphia suburban (Main
Line) area.  It's a fidonet node.  Once I get the address:

                       (zone:net/fidonode.point)

I can create an address I can use:

first.last@p#.f#.n#.z#.fidonet.org

However, I do not know the relevant information about this particular
fidonet node.  How can I find it out?  Or, if someone knows the address
for Fifth Dim., could you tell me?

To keep down bandwidth, please reply by mail.

I thank you all for your time and (possible) assistance.

           -Brian                    bsherman@acsu.buffalo.edu
