Open Letter To Thom Henderson From An IFNA Member
|
||
(a copy of which has been netmailed)
|
||
Charlie Smith 1:141/880
|
||
|
||
Thom, first of all let me congratulate you on the attainment of
|
||
your position. I hope that you achieve everything that you want
|
||
to achieve.
|
||
|
||
As to this matter of IFNA and FidoNet, I would like to ask one
|
||
simple question. Why does IFNA have to govern FidoNet? Why can't
|
||
FidoNet govern FidoNet?
|
||
|
||
I appologize if this seems rather simplistic as I have been a
|
||
member of IFNA for almost a year and I don't know anything of
|
||
what is supposed to happen except for what I read.
|
||
|
||
According to the Articles of Association that I have, IFNA was
|
||
created for seven purposes:
|
||
|
||
1. The promotion of interest in telecommunications and
|
||
experimentation;
|
||
|
||
2. The establishment of telecommunications networks to provide
|
||
publicly accessable and available electronic communications;
|
||
|
||
3. The furtherance of public welfare;
|
||
|
||
4. The advancement of telecommunications and the fostering of
|
||
education in the field of electronic communications;
|
||
|
||
5. The promotion and conduct of research and development to
|
||
further the developments in electronic communication;
|
||
|
||
6. The dissemination of technical, educational and scientific
|
||
information relating to electronic communications; and
|
||
|
||
7. The printing and publishing of documents, books, magazines,
|
||
newspapers and pamphlets necessary or incidental to any of the
|
||
above purposes.
|
||
|
||
None of these purposes require the governing of any network.
|
||
Item 2 was accomplished by the formal formation of FidoNet and
|
||
since IFNA was the "guardian" as such, maybe it is time to allow
|
||
the emancipation of FidoNet. It appears that FidoNet has come of
|
||
age.
|
||
|
||
Maybe IFNA should go beyond the scope of FidoNet and find ways of
|
||
bringing together all of the FidoNet Technical Compatible
|
||
Networks as well as the non-compatible networks.
|
||
|
||
FidoNews 6-42 Page 2 16 Oct 1989
|
||
|
||
|
||
Think about it, Thom. If IFNA was to the telecomputer
|
||
communications world what the United Nations is to this Earth,
|
||
IFNA would not have the time to worry about any one network.
|
||
Just look at the telecommunications world we live in and look at
|
||
the diverse networks that exist. How can we tie them (or for that
|
||
matter even get them) together so that we all can communicate
|
||
with each other.
|
||
|
||
I am sure that many other members feel like I feel in that IFNA
|
||
has more purpose than responding to the needs and wishes of one
|
||
particular network.
|
||
|
||
I propose this to you. Call off the FidoNet "plebiscite". Do what
|
||
you can to take IFNA to a higher plane of being. Forge a new
|
||
direction for IFNA and let FidoNet come of age. I think you will
|
||
find that FidoNet is more than capable of handling itself. And
|
||
you will also find that people will be more receptive to IFNA, if
|
||
they try to accomplish something instead of trying to rule over
|
||
somebody.
|
||
|
||
I paid my membership dues because I thought that IFNA was doing
|
||
something to further the art of communications, not because I
|
||
wanted to be part of FidoNet. I was already part of FidoNet. You
|
||
don't need to pay anything to join FidoNet. I do recognise that
|
||
research costs money. That operation of an organization costs
|
||
money. If you do what you propose, how do you plan to raise that
|
||
money? How do you plan to further research? How do you plan to
|
||
get the computer-communications world together? As a member, I
|
||
want to know.

"SEARCHLIGHT (n). An electric arc-light or other powerful
|
||
illuminant concentrated into a beam that can be turned in any
|
||
direction for lighting channels."
|
||
|
||
So says the Concise English Dictionary. In everyday language, we
|
||
perceive it to be, more simply, a powerful beam of light piercing
|
||
through the darkness.
|
||
|
||
Frank LaRosa's SEARCHLIGHT BBS can be likened to this beam. Its
|
||
powerful features - harnessed to easy implementation and use -
|
||
can truly be said to illuminate the darkness and gloom which
|
||
surrounds so many areas of Electronic Communications.
|
||
|
||
Maintaining the balance between offering a sophisticated vehicle
|
||
for communicating coupled with a friendly interface has long been
|
||
the programmer's nightmare. Many Bulletin Board programs
|
||
sacrifice ease of use to the deities of power; others cosset the
|
||
end-user and, sadly, lack much of the robustness demanded of a
|
||
modern communications package.
|
||
|
||
SEARCHLIGHT has, almost effortlessly, bridged these twin
|
||
incompatibilities. The software is optimised for both speed and
|
||
power but, importantly, the SysOp retains full control over the
|
||
performance and appearance of the system. It may be configured
|
||
exactly as he wishes with the aid of a simple set-up procedure
|
||
and customised so as to make it totally 'user-friendly'. Without
|
||
compromise!
|
||
|
||
A testament to the careful planning and coding undertaken by
|
||
Frank LaRosa. Having expended no little time in bringing his
|
||
program to such a level of sophistication; he is, however, most
|
||
responsive to users' input and constructive criticism. Much of
|
||
the 'fine tuning' and some useful features have been incorporated
|
||
directly as a result of his approachability and receptiveness.
|
||
|
||
Surely a program such as this - however good - must have some
|
||
demerits?
|
||
|
||
Up until now, just one! Whilst the program is constantly
|
||
undergoing revision and upgrading, its major deficit has been its
|
||
lack of true FidoNet compatibility.
|
||
|
||
It has, for some while, been possible to interface with IFNA
|
||
systems by using additional software - by no means a 'kludge' -
|
||
but essentially outside the SEARCHLIGHT environment. A little
|
||
more maintenace for the busy SysOp to perform...
|
||
|
||
No longer! With SEARCHLIGHT release 1.74D and the SLMAIL
|
||
utility, full FidoNet compatibility is assured. SLMAIL comes
|
||
with the registered SEARCHLIGHT package and handles Netmail
|
||
effortlessly.
|
||
|
||
FidoNews 6-42 Page 4 16 Oct 1989
|
||
|
||
|
||
Combined with D'Bridge (which is highly recommended); SEARCHLIGHT
|
||
will certainly illuminate the communications arena for a very
|
||
long time to come!

A FEELING OF ELECTRICITY IN THE AIR
|
||
A short story
|
||
By Kevin L. McNeil
|
||
1:128/45.0
|
||
(4 chapters)
|
||
|
||
Lightning cracked the sky, painting the night with ragged
|
||
lines of white. Thunder rattled the window panes, and rain beat
|
||
a steady drumming on the roof. Trash and leaves from the
|
||
streets flew in the air, propelled by the wind which sluiced
|
||
down the streets.
|
||
|
||
The phone rang, once.
|
||
|
||
The line connected, answering with a high-pitched squeal.
|
||
Another squeal replied and after a second, both squeals
|
||
stopped.
|
||
|
||
The video monitor glowed to life, green letters appearing
|
||
rapidly as the monitor received input from the computer for the
|
||
first time that night.

|
||
|
||
Susan bent close to the lock, blinking as rainwater
|
||
dribbled into her eyes. John stood close behind her, shielding
|
||
her with an almost collapsed umbrella.
|
||
You want to come in? she asked over her shoulder.
|
||
Well, I had been thinking...
|
||
She opened the door. Sure, I'll make some coffee.
|
||
John followed close behind her, shutting the door quickly
|
||
as a gust of wind blew cold air and rain inside. The door
|
||
slammed and Susan turned around.
|
||
Sorry, John said. He took off his coat. Where can I hang
|
||
this?
|
||
Here, she said, holding out her hand. She hung up their
|
||
wet coats while John looked around the living room.
|
||
You have a nice place, he said, mostly to himself.
|
||
Susan made an uh hmn sound from the kitchen. While she was
|
||
bent down behind the counter, he took a quick look into a room
|
||
adjoining the living room.
|
||
You've got a computer, he said.
|
||
Yes, she said, carrying back two cups of coffee. She
|
||
handed him the coffee. It's instant. I didn't feel like
|
||
waiting.
|
||
I guess most electricians own computers.
|
||
I don't know, Susan said. She sat on the couch. My
|
||
company buys them for the employees. And I'm not an
|
||
electrician. I design circuitry, IC's, integrated circuits for
|
||
computers. You know, the chips the size of a pencil point.
|
||
Oh, sorry. John took a swallow from his coffee, smiling
|
||
weakly, his cheeks strained from his smile. Look, really, I'm
|
||
sorry. Blind dates are always mismatched. I've never gone out
|
||
with a... a person who knows anything about electronics. And
|
||
you've probably never gone out with a CPA.
|
||
Susan smiled. Oh yes I have. If you're friends with
|
||
Madeline, you've gone out with CPA's.
|
||
John took another swallow. You know it's on?
|
||
Susan looked confused. She said with a sideways glance,
|
||
What's on?
|
||
Your computer.
|
||
Oh.
|
||
Should it be on like that, all alone?
|
||
She laughed. It's probably getting a call from someone.
|
||
It's programmed to answer calls for me.
|
||
Could I see?
|
||
Susan looked slightly irritated, then smiled. Oh, why not?
|
||
Sure. She stood up and John followed.
|
||
The monitor screen was full of glowing green type, new
|
||
lines slowly being added to the bottom.

|

|

What's that? John asked.
|
||
Hell if I know, Susan saud. She pulled out the chair and
|
||
sat down before the computer. She pressed a key labeled ESC.
|
||
The menu flashed before her eyes.

She pressed T and the screen cleared. Then a flashing

|

|

The screen continued with the same garbage

|

|
||
I hung up on the creep. Damn kid, probably.
|
||
Do you get many of them, owning a computer, I mean?
|
||
No, usually ...
|
||
The phone rang, once.
|
||
Susan and John watched as the computer went through it's
|

Shit! Susan said. Doesn't he know enough is enough?
|
||
She went to the menu again and hung up.
|
||
The phone rang again almost instantly.
|
||
FidoNews 6-42 Page 8 16 Oct 1989
|
||
|
||
|
||
You better just unplug it, John suggested.
|
||
Susan unplugged the phone from the wall.
