>Which Fido echoes would be appropriate for a gateway? The local Michigan ones. Mike brought this up at the last SEMiSLUG meeting, given that there is more local traffic on Fido than the mi hierarchy, we should think about combining the two. I agree, it would bring in some fresh blood, locally. I just recieved this email, from wintert@wl.com (Tom Winters) "In regards to your message about a mi.fido.jobs newsgroup. As the NC of "Net-2200 of Fidonet in the Ann Arbor, Mi area I created such a local group "that is echoed to systems in Ann Arbor, Monroe and a couple of systems in "Detroit. Traffic is low in the conference due to a smaller distribution. "I would welcome anyone to drop by my system (or any AANET site) and post "job listings in the echo. Dang! Exactly what we want! I suggest we gate Tom's group as mi.fido.jobs and forget about a separate mi.jobs. If anyone wants to post jobs and not let local fido users read them, they can put them in mi.misc. "My system is the Snowshoe Consulting BBS, Ann Arbor, Mi 313-665-5927. It runs "under the OPUS BBS program and is an OPEN, public system. First time users get "full access to the message system. Ann Arbor is long-distance for me, but if we get the gateway, I'll post my programmer/help desk person needs there....

Over time the distinctions between the various transport networks breaks down more and more. I would much rather see any gatewayed groups avoid putting `fido' as part of the name. If there is a reasonable amount of traffic in the fido group and if those jobs are primarily of interest to computing types, a mi.jobs <-> fido job list gateway would be most appropriate. In the more general case, if there are other Michigan-oriented fido things which someone thinks should be gatewayed, let's hear about them. Meg? -- Steve: #1 of human beings on the Zwicky list
