Problem was (here) the company I worked for at the time (1998) offered
"voice" service. Which meant that the international route digital stream
was compressed, 4 streams per channel of 64Kbit. We found out when
customers complained that international faxes failed or were terrible.
We did not know.

Hum.  Was that a requirement?  I thought there were multiple clients

Ya.  It would be difficult to receive anything directly, seeing as how a

That makes sense.

I would be surprised if anything more than username and password were

I've not heard that phrase before.  I can see how amateur radio

could say "meeting in vertical".  That seems like the type of humor I 
associate with them.

I remember friends talking about ""discussions (arguments / flame wars)

I've heard of points before.  I don't quite know what the advantage of a 
point is over a normal board.

I guess it's akin to not needing to run your own board (server) and just 
have a client pull email from a board (server) that someone else is running.

Sort of like a mid way point between client only and full board with 
your own node address.

There was a local guy who ran a large multi-node BBS using PCBoard, and
he had a satellite feed for Fido. "Fido on the bird" he called it.

I had met him at some computer shows and at one point I bought some used
RAM and I think a graphics card (I think the brand was Hercules), and
when I went over to his house to get them, he gave me a tour of his BBS
setup.

He had it in an outbuilding and I remember him showing me how he had run
thin net through a garden hose to get from there to the house where he
had a couple of workstations setup so he and his wife could admin the
board.

I just found an old description of his BBS and he was evidently using
Planet Connect and I found some info on that here:

http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/library/CONCEPTS/SERVICES/SATELLITES/

I later worked for an ISP and they signed up with both Akamai and a
company called Skycache.  Both analyzed local traffic patterns and
pushed data out to you and cached it to speed up web browsing, etc. But
Skycache sent it out over a satellite feed. I think their slogan was
"Reducing the World Wide Wait."

Skycache also sent us a full Usenet feed, and I remember being pretty
impressed by that. It was a whole lot less expensive then getting it
from UUNet like we had before.

LOL  Thinnet (10Base2) through a garden hose.  I like it.  :-)

I'd be interested in a satellite feed of Usenet if such was still 
available.  I've only heard about it in the past tense, and brief 
searches for it have not turned up anything.

I think FidoNet echos had (still have) their own ecosystem with

I've always run the full INN.  Fortunately I've gotten an number of

Correct. Except that most were moderated. The moderator posted the rules
(like what charset to use), and could expel misbehavers. There was a
longish document with Fidonet rules. No, two docs, one generic, one for
the echoareas. The structure was hierarchical, with elected or appointed
bosses. Routes had to be defined according to resources, schedules
negotiated... All that was not automatic.

Moderation was not like usenet moderation, the moderator
didn't act as gatekeeper controling message flow, more like a bouncer
expelling bad actors.

When Usenet newsgroups first started being gated to Fidonet, many
usenet users feared that letting the Fidonet rabble in would mean the
end of Usenet. Now Usenet is full of spammers, trolls and fanatics and
only about one article in 20 is worth reading, and I long for the days
of Fidonet and the interesting conversations.

I remember seeing some of those abuses on FIDO, RIME, and some of the other
echo networks back then too. 

There was one group of people that advocated Antivirus software, with
one group aligning behind one brand and another group championing
another brand. Two particularly strident ones were Zvi Netiv and Rod
Fewster, IIRC. I think they even carried their battles with them from
the BBS world to Usenet. (Nowadays they'd probably be the stars of some
reality TV show.)

The sad thing was that I think both of them had knowledge they could
have shared and that people would have learned from, but they were so
busy fighting that anyone with any sense avoided both of them and the
products they argued about.

Once I discovered Usenet it wasn't long before I was spending more time
on it than on the FIDO echoes. I tried a couple of solutions for mixing
the two, but never found them to be very satisfactory.

For a while I was using a newsreader called yarn/2 and I uploaded and
downloaded SOUP packets to my ISP's shell server using uqwk. Then I got
a second phone line so I could remain connected for longer periods and I
switched to using a few different OS/2 newsreaders and finally switched
to using slrn on the ISP's shell server.

At some point around then I devoted a PC at home to Linux and did most
things from there via a PPP connection rather than using their shell
server.

I found some of those discussions to be interesting, and I learned more
about both editors from them. However, they always got to a point where
one side likes emacs and the other likes vi and neither is going to
convince the other to switch. Some people "agreed to disagree" at that
point, but others got increasingly vehement and it got ugly. I always
stopped reading the threads once the flames started to appear.

It would be nice if I had the time and brainpower to know both editors
equally well and be able to really evaluate them and perhaps choose one
based on that, or just use each where they're best suited.

However, when I started working with Unix, the other people using it had
a definite preference for one over the other and I used the preferred
one because I could more easily find someone to answer any questions
about it that way.

I don't have any regrets about that. The editor that I use for most
editing tasks is and has been a very useful tool, and has made my life
easier.

As for the other topic that was raised; the suitability or
non-suitability of a topic for a given newsgroup or newsgroups... I've
seen groups ruined by off-topic posting and by excessive
cross-posting. I've also seen other groups embrace off-topic posts and
fit them in to the group's culture.

At least in the groups that I read, there is no longer so much traffic
that I really can't keep up and would seek to reduce posts that are
well-intended  but somewhat off-topic. I reserve my ire for those
children playing silly dominance games - trolls in other words. :)

It is difficult, their user interfaces are so different.

That's a very sound strategy. Also for choosing a distribution.


Me, I recognize that both are very powerful tools, but both have a steep
learning curve which I did not want to invest the time doing. I have, on
ocassion, used emacs because "upstream" of me was using it for some
special feature and I learned enough to use it, for those files only. Or
because I needed some specific feature.

For example, emacs recognizes a file with extension .pgp as encripted
and treats it appropriately, asking for the passphrase, not creating
temporary files in the clear, etc. I was looking for an editor for
encripted files and the howtos I found used emacs, so emacs it was. For
that task only.

That is what I do. I use emacs most of the time, but for some things, I
find vi more convenient, so then I use vi.

I switched to vi soon after it became available in UNIX. It was somewhat
more powerful than ed, the only editor I knew of at the time.

And I attempted to add alt.os.linux back because that is the group I

That group was unintentionally added. You can remove it as far as I'm

vi is also used in Linux.
