The question being: Should it be "FidoNet", or "Fidonet"? Anyone game for a pin and some angels here? ...And why would you get riled or bothered if "FidoNet" was used instead of "Fidonet"? If you go back to "original documents", like policy4.07, it's an very uneven split of 92 'FidoNet' entries, and 3 "Fidonet" entries. If you look at the FTSC charter, it is split again: /pub/ftsc$ grep -wc FidoNet FTA-1004.005 16 /pub/ftsc$ grep -wc Fidonet FTA-1004.005 13 ooh.. looks like the darn "FidoNet" people were better typists, or just meant to call us "FidoNet", not Fidonet :) What other essentially quasi-legal documents do we have? Certainly the body of the entire FTSC library of files if someone wants to come up with simple grep script to find the instances.. or that _other_ document that Zone 1 threw away long ago: Echopol waitaminit... Here is a document that Zone 2 has _digested_ (while we tossed it OUT) and it does live on in some echos I suppose, though not successfully here (read it and weep if you care to http://www.filegate.net/info/eop.txt) =============cut here=========== Changes by John Souvestre, 1:396/1, on February 26, 1991 Draft -:- Draft -:- Draft -:- Draft -:- Draft -:- Draft ZONE ONE BACKBONE ECHOMAIL POLICY 2.0 [...] ============cut here============ And what do we find in this document written by John Souvestre in 1991? grep -wc Fidonet /home/ftp/pub/info/eop.txt 29 grep -wc FidoNet /home/ftp/pub/info/eop.txt 0 Mystery solved.. :) FIDOGAZETTE Vol 06 No 05 Page 3 March 04, 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= C O L U M N S ================================================================= The Old School Toolbox By Richard Webb, 1:116/901 Connecting the wetware Part III Within all these discussions of the strengths, and weaknesses of Fidonet and all that goes along with them we should remember that Fidonet's founding father was a man who believed strongly in self determination and liberty. Not just was he a pretty sharp software guy, but he was also a student of history, and all the others ways man relates to his fellows. His experiences and beliefs shaped the early Fidonet in many ways. In these next two installments I'll keep the focus on them. If you'll recall, last time we were discussing the many ways Fidonet can circumvent attempts to control the flow of information by totalitarian governments. We'll continue to look at this topic this time, then we'll drill down to those founding principles and how they shaped the policy under which we operate. Then we'll look at how we might wish to change that policy to reflect conditions as they truly are in today's Fidonet. Fidonet's electronic forerunner in the fight for freedom and liberty was radio. With a little bit of technical know-how anybody, and I mean just anybody can throw up a hunk of wire in some trees and put a transmitter on the air, and get the word out. Forget licensing and all that for the moment. Clandestine broadcasters have been aiding and abetting revolutions and insurgencies for over half a century now. With modern equipment it's so mobile that about the time the authorities get a fix on the transmitter they pack it all up, throw it in the trunk of a car, roll on somewhere else, half an hour after they arrive at their next location they're back on the air! Still, radio requires some advance planning, some forethought. if you're going to run the risks associated with your clandestine broadcasting you'd better have a plan so as to keep broadcasting, and getting the word out. If you don't, your activities will be curtailed quite soon, and you might face heavy fines, imprisonment, or even death. Even though the governments can coopt the corporations that maintain our internet connections in the interest of suppressing freedom it's harder to totally shut down the regular public switched telephone network. After all, public safety depends on the viability of that network. As long as you've a working telephone and can dial out, you've got a connection with somebody else. You can't stop radio waves, but you can sure stop internet dead in its tracks. Pull the big switch on a couple of key systems, and "goodnight gracie." Traffic stops dead, there's no conduit available. The Chinese government demonstrates that it can be done. Like terrestrial radio, Fidonet over pstn is dirt simple to implement, even if all you've got is an old coco 2 and a 1200 baud modem. It's harder to listen in on those compressed packets traveling on the phone line from your modem, but to get the word to the good folks outside by radio you've got to use the human voice, and a language the folks outside will understand. Beyond that, even though modern radio transmitters are simpler to deploy there's still a bit of technical know-how required. The authorities will be quick to deploy radio direction finding techniques to zero in on your transmitter's location, so you'd better be prepared to take it all down and move it within an hour or two, or you'll soon be without the capability to communicate. But, even if they shut down your modem the guy across town with one can dial up a connection, and information still flows. I'd be missing a crucial point here if I didn't mention the first form of electrical/electronic communication, the telegraph. Even then there were folks understood the concept of choke points. As one French official put it, the telegraph met those who would cut off communication only with a span of wire which could easily be cut in a few places. He argued that the French signal towers guarded by men with guns and located on high ground were much more secure. I don't consider the telegraph beyond this point much in a discussion of enhancing freedom and liberty however, because your communication wasn't direct. You had to write out your message and pass it to the telegrapher who would send it in Morse code to others for relay to its destination, and it was essentially the only game in town. Yes, you could encrypt your message some sort of way, but it was still a simple matter to deny you communication if that was desirable. That French official was right about one thing, the telegraph was a major choke point. Freedom and liberty can only exist as long as folks have communication options. If anybody thinks the despots won't learn to get control of the technology before their next holocaust or Tianmen square they're sadly mistaken. Our fully coupled nodelist, and variety of connection options assure us that we have a way to get the word to those we wish to reach. Less fear involved too, after all, setting up that clandestine radio station is fraught with dangers. There is the risk of heavy monetary forfeitures and possible jail time. But, as long as you can communicate with *somebody* in the Fidonet system you can get the word out. Hey you never knew you could be part of the revolution if things get real bad I'll bet! You don't even have to leave your chair, and the risks are actually quite low. All you need do is have the capability to utilize those alternate connection methods when the Internet goes dark. Even if you're not real sure that you might need to put your revolutionary hat on I've described in past columns in this publication reasons you might want to explore these options. I've already discussed all the ways that our early Fidonet pioneers provided a robust versatile network which can serve us well into the future in this column. Next time I'll talk about what we need to do today so that their vision of the network survives into the future. We'll even damp down the fire and brimstone just a bit. FIDOGAZETTE Vol 06 No 05 Page 4 March 04, 2012 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= E-Ministries ================================================================= ------------------------- - e-Ministries - - by Jon Justvig - - February 24, 2012 - ------------------------- Issue #: 11 And now we are in the act of chapter 6 of the King James Version. (KJV) Gen 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, (KJV) Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. (KJV) Gen 6:3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. What has happened now, that we see in our current lives, is the maximum length of time a man will be able to live on earth. One- hundred and twenty years. And that my friends, is very rare, but if you do watch the news where you live, you might see someone 90+ on TV celebrating their birthday, or even at your very own home. I bet you would like to throw a party for them as they have endured life and everything that has been thrown at them since birth. In my eyes, elderly people are very special and to be treated fair. So, wherever you are, put your hand up and let them know you care. (KJV) Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. There were giants back then, do you think living to be hundreds and hundreds years old, do you honestly think that growing wider and taller was going to stop before they reached the age of say, twenty? I think not. These giants lived a long life. (KJV) Gen 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (KJV) Gen 6:6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. (KJV) Gen 6:7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. (KJV) Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. God saw wickedness then just as he sees it today. I would encourage everyone, if given a choice to take a path, a path that might be narrow, that is less traveled but guarenteed for ever salvation. It's easy to take the broad road that the majority and even more people take today. You may wonder...what road do I take? ...how do I get there... What must you do. Picture two mountains. You are on one, and your destination is on the other side. Your only option is to cross to the other mountain is by a bridge. There is a bridge there that you haven't seen. You've had someone come up and talk to you about the Lord and were asked if you would like salvation. The meaning, to be saved by Christ. But, you weren't sure how or it just wasn't in your heart at the time. So you begin to put your hands together, close your eyes and asking God how can I get off this mountain, there's so much wickedness here, I want to be with you. So, you have a warm feeling and you ask God to wash your sins and naturally, you repent your wicked ways. You ask the Lord Jesus into your life to mold you like clay...into a beautiful vase of any color you choose. Suddenly, you see a bridge to appear. So what do you do, you go over there and try to cross it. But, you've forgotten one thing, you need to keep praying and turning from your disobedience towards God. This bridge will never fail. Once you're on it, you're on it for good and the end of it is the Almighty God standing there with his son Jesus waiting for you to come see him. It's that easy folks, just pray to the Lord, put all your troubles and worries on him and he'll take away the part in your body that feels empty. If you haven't already asked the Lord into your life I suggest you do it now. I suggest you close your eyes, put your hands together and ask the Lord Jesus into your life. He hears what's in your heart. He know every neuron in your brain, the precise count of every sand pebble on the Earth even before you were born. Come follow Him today, would you? It's hard to break habits and it's a lot more challenging to start new ones. He isn't expecting you to change overnight, but His eyes in your Heart, you have changed and he'll do the rest if you just love Him, read the Bible, speak His word, spead the Word to other people. This wraps it up for this week. I hope you've enjoyed reading as I've enjoy sharing a little bit with you. Be good and let God take care of you! If you've enjoyed our meeting, remember to ask your SysOp to carry MINISTER, an echo with FidoNet if he/she doesn't already. Remember also to keep your head up high. May God bless you and keep you! *** This conclude this issue of e-Ministries provided by Jon Justvig.

If you have an ideKa for a column or a series of articles, please contact me :) New! MailingList subsriptions via www.filegate.net // lists / ?p=subscribe but of course you can always link into your uplink and use Tick or a tick compatible program. Where to Send Your Articles Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth when there is a sparcity of articles for the 'zine. I'd MUCH rather you sent in material... lacking that, I will fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here :) Write an article! If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop your article off at: Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38 Modem: 607-655-5652 Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 telnet mailer: filegate.net If you are using routed fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed attaches. They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here. Send them instead direct to filegate.net. Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have one and send it along! Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though (something I'm typically guilty of (g)). To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or netmail Janis as above. Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug: To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to: drdebug @ filegate.net or post in the fidogazette echo! :) To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your listing to: bbslist @ filegate.net or post it in the fidogazette echo!
