|

Yes, I did it again... I compressed last week's news with LHARC version
|
||
2, instead of the older one. More fallout from my swapover to a new
|
||
disk. This week should be the right format, sigh.
|
||
|
||
And thanks to the people who sent me ARTSPEC.DOC. And the historical
|
||
files; I got a few dups, but not as many as you'd think, and some came
|
||
up with files I'd forgotten about... there's so few copies around, and
|
||
so few files in those days to begin with, if you find something
|
||
interesting, by all means send me a copy...
|
||
|
||
There are three things I have promised to do that I have not done as
|
||
editor of this here thing: solicit more/better articles, change the
|
||
FidoNews file format, and update ARTSPEC.DOC.
|
||
|
||
In January 1992, I will start producing a new, example format FidoNews.
|
||
The current format will remain in distribution, but on filerequests to
|
||
1:1/1 for file FIDONEWS, you'll get both copies; this older one and the
|
||
new one. Depending on feedback etc, I'll swap in the new one no less
|
||
than 8 weeks later, maybe 12 weeks.
|
||
|
||
Also by that time, I will publish the proposed changes to ARTSPEC.DOC,
|
||
that will hopefully handle the cascading responses to controversial
|
||
articles, if we ever get any again.
|
||
|
||
The first item is not so easily resolved. It is Actual Work. I didn't
|
||
mean by my offer that YOU the FidoNews Reader were off the hook on this
|
||
-- this is supposed to represent the FidoNet, which even the most
|
||
flameproof and foolhardy sysop has to *occasionally* admit is more than
|
||
just their own system. Hey, if you want to let it fall into a soapbox
|
||
rant of my very own, hey, fine by me. I have megs o' text to run. Old
|
||
articles for punkzines, personal letters, software proposals, source
|
||
files, hex dumps of memory, lots of great stuff.
|
||
|
||
Yes, this is a threat. You can counteract it by placing this threat
|
||
under the noses (pens, OK fingers) of prospective authors. Make threats
|
||
of your own!
|
||
|
||
OK, now that I've appeased my own guilt, here's the news.

Southwestern Bell in Missouri
|
||
|
||
by Bill White
|
||
Sysop (1:280/15)
|
||
|
||
|
||
Well, this is just to let our fellow SysOps around the country know
|
||
what Southwestern Bell telephone company is doing now in the state
|
||
of Missouri.
|
||
|
||
Southwestern Bell has filed petition with the Missouri Public
|
||
Service Commission to have all BBSs reclassified as business
|
||
customers, and to impose business rates on us.
|
||
|
||
Some of us will remember when Bell tried the same tactics in
|
||
Houston, Texas. Before the case made it into the courts, Bell
|
||
relented and agreed to a three telephone line 'hobby' BBS
|
||
definition. William Bailey, Southwestern Bells district manager
|
||
of rate administration for Missouri, was quoted in the _Kansas City
|
||
Star_ newspaper as saying that was "an enormous mistake", and added
|
||
that phone companies are unable to monitor whether or not a
|
||
bulletin board is collecting money from users. How about that!
|
||
*grin* Southwestern Bell telephone doesn't even know how to
|
||
telecommunicate!
|
||
|
||
Since the Bell Co's have been given permission to enter the
|
||
information services business, we can expect all the Bell companies
|
||
to begin trying to squeeze the free competition out of their way.
|
||
(That is most of us, BTW.) Don't feel too safe where ever you run
|
||
your BBS. There have been reports coming in that Oregon and
|
||
Indiana have both been similarly 'steam-rolled' in the last couple
|
||
of months.
|
||
|
||
In Missouri, the BBS fight has been picked up by the Greater Kansas
|
||
City Sysops Association (GKCSA), thanks in large part to Bill Hirt
|
||
(1:280/304). Bill has information FREQable on the Texas case, and
|
||
on the Missouri case to date. If you would like this sizable
|
||
amount of data, FREQ MISSOURI and/or TEXAS magicnames.
|
||
|
||
The GKCSA very recently became a Non-Profit corporation in the
|
||
State of Missouri. If you are fortunate enough to be able to help
|
||
out your Missouri cousins with a tax deductible donation towards
|
||
our legal expenses, please send to:

proposal here in Missouri.

What is a point?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
What the heck's the Point?
|
||
|
||
I know many of you are staying up late at night, dying to know
|
||
what the heck's a FidoNet Point? Well I have heard you're silent
|
||
screams of agony and ignorance, and I'm here to enlighten you. (A
|
||
little too pretentious, huh? Okay, I'll tone it down, sorry.)
|
||
|
||
FidoNet is an international network of volunteer computer BBS
|
||
SysOps linked to each other in order to exchange messages and
|
||
files. But, you say, I don't have a BBS, and I'm not a SysOp, but
|
||
I would sure like to get in on all this fun. THAT, my friend, is
|
||
what the heck a FidoNet point is. A PoOp, or Point Operator, has
|
||
a system configured with all the software necessary to call a
|
||
FidoNet Node, upload messages, and download replies, any time he
|
||
so desires. He can also upload and download files with his
|
||
software, and even has an official FidoNet address for sending/
|
||
receving NetMail. He doesn't need to go through a lengthy logon
|
||
procedure or even remember his password each time he calls the
|
||
system designated as his feed, or BossNode. His computer
|
||
remembers how to do all that for him, and can do it automagically
|
||
while the poor, abused PoOp catches up on his sleep. When he
|
||
gets up in the morning, he can read all the mail brought in by
|
||
his system during the night, make the appropriate replies, and
|
||
prepare them to be sent out on the mail run for that night. And,
|
||
maybe best of all, he can do all this without having to endure
|
||
the abuse heaped on the much maligned SysOps who are the real
|
||
backbone of the system.
|
||
|
||
So, you say, How can I get in on this magic? (What, you didn't
|
||
say that? Well, you should have.) There are some very simple steps
|
||
involved. First, you have to find a cooperative SysOp to act as
|
||
your feed. The system where you obtained this file would be a
|
||
good place to start your search. Said SysOp should either have the
|
||
software necessary to setup a point, or know where it can be
|
||
obtained. Most SysOps that already have point systems they are
|
||
working with will have software that they can recommend. Download
|
||
the software from the BBS, set up and configure the software with
|
||
your name and FidoNet address assigned to you by your BossNode, and
|
||
prepare to be astounded. You should also find out what Echo areas
|
||
are available from the BBS, and choose the ones that interest you.
|
||
One word of warning -- please find out a little bit about Echo
|
||
'good manners' before you start entering messages in these areas.
|
||
Briefly, try to keep your messages short and on the subject of
|
||
interest. And if you're feeling really generous, you might even
|
||
volunteer to help your local SysOp pick up some of the tab for his
|
||
FidoNews 8-48 Page 4 2 Dec 1991
|
||
|
||
|
||
long distance bill. (Just to give you some idea of the
|
||
dedication of SysOps, most of these guys have phone bills every
|
||
month that are more than their car payments!!!)
|
||
|
||
One more comment and I'm done. It certainly pays to stay on
|
||
the good side of your BossNode, as he controls your access to the
|
||
net. As you may have noticed, I haven't said anything bad about
|
||
SysOps in this text, and I don't intend to. You see, I learned my
|
||
lesson when I got my first point system. Everything ran
|
||
beautifully, until I asked a simple question. I happened to
|
||
mention to my BossNode SysOp that if I was a PoOp, and he was my
|
||
feed, didn't that make him a PoOpy chute? I suddenly noticed a
|
||
drastic drop in the amount of mail coming into my point. <grin>
|
||
My mail traffic did resume as soon as I performed the suitable
|
||
groveling. :-)

This message is dedicated in memory of David Miller of Longview,
|
||
TX, a great man, and an example of all the best things in FidoNet.
|
||
As SysOp of Barnco BBS, David was my first BossNode, and taught me
|
||
most of what I know about FidoNet. Tragically, he was stricken
|
||
with cancer shortly after we met, and passed away soon after.
|
||
|
||
He is sorely missed.

Number nine, number nine, number nine, ...
|
||
|
||
[This was written a few years back. I'm running it without contacting
|
||
the author. Note that with the advent of TICK/FLEA, a lot of technical
|
||
hurdles are gone...
|
||
|
||
With the PGP package, as it exists without change in MSDOS excutable
|
||
form, exceedingly high security could be had for "free". Each net would
|
||
simply generate their nodelist fragment as a DIFF, PGP it, and FLEA/TICK
|
||
it. Whenever a file appears in the ZnnnLST directory, you simply handle
|
||
it as a NODEDIFF. That's all. (You could even manually rename each
|
||
incoming file NODEDIFF.1, NODEDIFF.2, etc so existing software would
|
||
accept it!

||
|
||
Think of FidoNet as a confederation of local nets. Forget regions.
|
||
Forget zones except as a way of saving telco charges by concentrating
|
||
messages and as a way to segment the total nodelist. FidoNet returns to
|
||
being a collection of local nets, as it was before the region and zone
|
||
hierarchies were added just a few years ago.
|
||
|
||
In each zone there is an echo, call it ZnnnLIST, to which every NC in
|
||
that zone subscribes. In the North American zone, it is Z001LIST. For
|
||
the moment, do not worry about the security or reliability of this echo,
|
||
but things like sequence numbers, checksums, and RSA public key
|
||
signatures can be used to address such problems (you are aware that RSA
|
||
can be used to send a validatable signature, yes?).
|
||
|
||
When an NC's net (or hub) segment undergoes significant change
|
||
(significant is that which would be likely to affect callers from
|
||
outside one's own net), then the NC posts a processed version of that
|
||
segment to the ZnnnLIST echo. The processing could be to create a
|
||
difference file, compress the file, maybe RSA signature encode it, or
|
||
whatever else is deemed necessary. A simplistic scheme to start is a
|
||
collection of lines of the form
|
||
|
||
add z:n/n <new node line>
|
||
del z:n/n
|
||
chg z:n/n <altered nodel line>
|
||
|
||
similar to the prerevolutionary nodediff file.
|
||
|
||
By placing the processed segment in the ZnnnLIST echo, each net's
|
||
nodelist segment(s) will be automatically distributed to all other nets
|
||
within that zone. This is the essence of the scheme.
|
||
|
||
Each NC automatically accumulates the changes to the zone nodelist as
|
||
they pass by in the ZnnnLIST echo for their zone. Once a week (or two),
|
||
they create a difference file against last week's accumulated zone
|
||
nodelist, and distribute this new difference file within their local
|
||
net. The nodes within the net are thus insulated from all change, and
|
||
do not have to change their prerevolutionary batch files or programs.
|
||
|
||
The zonegates exchange periodic diffference files for their zones, and
|
||
make the lists (or difference files) of the other zones available within
|
||
their own, likely via the local ZnnnLIST echo. Since the advent of
|
||
zonegates, one need not know much about a node in another zone, only the
|
||
sysop's name and the node number. So we could choose to reduce the size
|
||
of lists we keep of other zones, if the thought is not too scary.
|
||
|
||
Note that a first prototype of this methodology could be constructed
|
||
from existing software plus a few days of coding.
