FidoNet Net 282

FidoNet (TM) is an amateur electronic mail network, established in 1984, that had grown by 1995 to include almost 40,000 electronic bulletin board systems world-wide. It sadly has since decreased in size... :(

FidoNet is governed by a policy document and defined by a weekly nodelist .
