|
The new years first newsletter ... more and more
|
|
articles and ads every week. One complaint from a few
|
|
people: not too much of interest to general users, so far
|
|
all articles have been from Sysops. While that is fine,
|
|
maybe encourage a few users to send articles? FidoNews is
|
|
NOT only for sysops, it is for anyone.
|
|
|
|
Still looking for a name for the FidoNet Users
|
|
Group. As mentioned last week, the idea is to find a name of
|
|
four words, such that F I D O is an acronoym, as well as the
|
|
first word ... recursive name.
|
|
|
|
With the European and Asian traffic building up,
|
|
probably the second word should be International. So ...
|
|
|
|
F ido
|
|
I nternational
|
|
D ???
|

O ???

Article (Warning?) Submitted by David Horowitz (SysOp 317)
|
|
|
|
As many of you already know, Fido does not care if the file
|
|
name is listed in the FILES.BBS file. If the user knows the
|
|
name of the file or does a wildcard download he can get the
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
What is prompting me to write this is that I just realized
|
|
that he does not even have to know the name of the file. Any
|
|
user can do an *.* find (ie. L *.*). With this a user can
|
|
get a 'raw display' of every file area he has access to.
|
|
|
|
[ED. Note: L (nor F) does not list RawFiles, ie. the actual files on
|
|
the disk. It lists only the contents of FILES.BBS. Unless the R command
|
|
is low enough privelege, users cannot get a list of files.
|
|
|
|
It is correct though, that download *.* >WILL< be able to download any
|
|
files in the directory, and selective download (like "USER.BBS") works
|
|
too. ]
|
|
|
|
This just brings out the very important fact that you should
|
|
never keep Licenced (Non-public Domain) software in any user
|
|
accesable area.
|
|
|
|
This has also prompted me to make the raw display command a
|
|
normal privelaged command. Since it is very easy to get
|
|
files that should not be there in the first place, I might as
|
|
well make the users life a little easier. Since the
|
|
|
|
|

FILES.BBS file takes a long time to display, and often has a
|
|
lot of text that has already been read countless times.
|
|
|
|
I would also like to ask other SysOps to do the same thing.
|
|
When looking around Fido Systems many of the files are the
|
|
same. On almost every system I have to read the same
|
|
descriptions over and over again. I am sure you see the
|
|
redundancy in this. That's all I have to say, and to any
|
|
Sysop that does make R(aw display a normal privelage command
|
|
- thanks in advance.

800 for Fido!
|
|
In the December 24th edition of "FidoNews," there was an article
|
|
discussing the feasability of running FidoNet through an 800 number.
|
|
This particular idea interested me so I did some studying. The only company
|
|
currently capable of running an 800 number is AT & T. The rate schedule was
|
|
run down in the previous article but for a short synopsis...
|
|
Installation : 366.95
|
|
Monthly Service: 36.80
|
|
Usage Charges / Hour: 9.22 (11PM - 8 AM) (All Weekend)
|
|
Let us figure that the computer (& 800 number) would be used 10% (a modest
|
|
estimate) of the time.
|
|
Monthly Charge : 36.80
|
|
(10% of the time) :342.98 (Hey Guys! I got that without Sidekick!)
|
|
Total Chage :379.78
|
|
Figuring on 150 nodes in 3 months (prospective start date..)
|
|
at mandatory participation : 2.53 per month
|
|
at eighty percent : 3.16 per month
|
|
Very marginal results you must say...
|
|
|
|
Part II -- Initial Set-Up
|
|
I, Brian Driscoll, propose that we (all of us crazy sysops), donate
|
|
a system to be used as the 800 fido connection. I propose that the system
|
|
should be an IBM PC. This system should be put in either of two places:
|
|
1) In the state with the fewest Fido Boards (800 does not include home state)
|
|
2) Given to the beloved and exalted author (that's you Tom. .. ) to be
|
|
run from California. He deserves it... (Maybe .. Maybe not...)
|
|
The system would be purchased through The Pacesetter Company (that's me..).
|
|
The system will cost wholesale cost..... for exact figures.. see below
|
|
1 IBM PC w/ 2 DS/DD Drives : 1488.35
|
|
1 AST 6-PAK w/ 384K, etc...: 385.00
|
|
1 20 MB Internal Hard Disk : 825.00 (Approx.)
|
|
1 Monochrome Set : 325.00 (Approx.) (Montior + Card)
|
|
Total Cost : 3023.35
|
|
+ 800 installation : 366.95
|
|
3390.30
|
|
divided by 120 sysops (80%) : 28.25 per node
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fidonews -- 06 Jan 85 21:33:19 Page 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
Part III -- Secondary Expansion
|
|
Secondary Expansion would be solved by the additional funds received
|
|
by new sysops (and nodes). In this way, we can build an account that will
|
|
earn interest (if put in a bank). This would provide for further expansion
|
|
and necessary money for any repairs.
|
|
|
|
Part IV -- MSPRINT Service --
|
|
The only other alternative available would be to go with Sprint. This
|
|
requires a serparate access code for each specific area. This is very similar
|
|
to calling CompuServe ... to go this way...
|
|
Installation : 45.00
|
|
Monthly Charge: 15.00
|
|
Usage per hour: 7.24
|
|
A little bit cheaper than AT & T ...
|
|
Monthly Service : 15.00
|
|
(10% of the time):269.32 (800 Number used 10% of the time)
|
|
Total :284.32
|
|
Cost for mandatory use (150 sysops) : 1.90
|
|
Cost for 80 % use (120 sysops) : 2.37
|
|
As you can see this would be a good deal cheaper than going with AT & T.
|
|
|
|
Part V - The End
|
|
I have (hopefully) explained the basic ideas behind 800 use. My facts
|
|
and figures were given to me by AT & T and Sprint respectively. They do differ
|
|
with Mr. Baker report. I am not sure of the reason for this. Next week, I will
|
|
try to delve into the possibility of using a 800 number for a national Fido
|
|
Connection (CompuServe-like).

|
|
you have gained something out of it. (other than a few good yawns)

From: Jon Tara on FIDO92
|
|
Subject: 800 number
|
|
|
|
I can spot a few flaws in Ben Baker's (FIDO 10) suggestion of
|
|
a national FIDOnet server:
|
|
|
|
1) The figures he has quoted sound optimisticaly low. I checked
|
|
into 800 service a couple of months ago, and the costs were
|
|
much higher. I can't find my notes, and I'm not willing to
|
|
go through the hassle I went through to get them the first
|
|
time, so I can't quote exact figures. It was more like $10/hr
|
|
night though. The 5.40/hr figure may be based on a certain
|
|
(very high) volume. Other companies provide "800-like" service,
|
|
by the way. You dial a local access number, then a six-digit
|
|
code. Costs are generally a bit lower than ATT (but still not
|
|
as low as $5.40/hr) and you can have it dial-in to a hunt
|
|
sequence, with no limit on the number of simultaneous calls.
|
|
|
|
2) I doubt that FIDOnet currently has sufficient volume to support
|
|
such a service. Once newsletter distribution is perfected
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fidonews -- 06 Jan 85 21:33:27 Page 6
|
|
|
|
and we get a few different newsletters flying around, maybe
|
|
it will.
|
|
|
|
3) Billing 50-100 systems is going to be a major hassle.
|
|
|
|
4) The twit factor. This is the real killer. Some twit is
|
|
GOING to find out the 800-number and dial-in constantly.
|
|
FIDOnet hangs up if contact isn't established, but that
|
|
takes at least 30 seconds. With an autodialer, said twit(s)
|
|
could insure that we get billed for 90% or so of the time
|
|
that the system is able to receive calls, and at no cost
|
|
to them!
|
|
|
|
I think, rather, that the key to low-cost FIDOnet service is finding
|
|
the right long-distance company, and pooling local nodes to qualify for
|
|
volume discounts. (For example, I use Telemarketing Communications
|
|
Corp. They aren't very big, so their service is unfortunately available
|
|
in a few cities - check your yellow pages. They lease ATT Watts lines
|
|
(not a satellite or microwave network, although presumably ATT makes
|
|
use of those at times) bill in six-second increments with no one-minute
|
|
minimum or additional first minute charge. My maximum message cost
|
|
anywhere in the U.S. is 8 cents.)
|
|
|
|
There are also many corporate and academic phone networks and
|
|
leased lines and trunks which get little use at night, where FIDOnodes
|
|
could be set up. The biggest problem with these right now, though,
|
|
is that you need nodes on both ends to get a two-way link. I would
|
|
urge Tom to go ahead and add two-way message exchange capability,
|
|
so that we could take advantage of those links. There should be some
|
|
capability to designate nodes to "poll" whether there is outgoing
|
|
traffic or not, so that incoming messages could be picked up on a
|
|
regular basis.Article for FidoNet News

|
|
|
|
|
|
As a followup to some of the suggestions raised in the 31 Dec
|
|
Newsletter:
|
|
|
|
1. (Minor Point): If possible, please adopt a naming scheme for
|
|
the newsletter files that identifies each issue with a unique
|
|
name that makes archiving them a little easier.
|
|
|
|
2. I agree with the suggestion for "picking up mail", "polling",
|
|
or whatever you wish to call it. We are all using 1200 baud (and
|
|
I would guess 2400 baud in the near future) full duplex modems,
|
|
yet all file transfers use half duplex protocols. Would it
|
|
actually be feasible for two Fido's to swap mail files at the
|
|
same time (in full duplex)? Of course, the length of the total
|
|
phone call would be dictated by whichever end has the longest
|
|
file to send.
|
|
|
|
The accounting system would have to CREDIT and debit based on the
|
|
adjusted transfer. I.E. if node #5 calls node #6 and sends 3
|
|
messages but retrieves 5, node #5 should have a net credit of 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fidonews -- 06 Jan 85 21:33:35 Page 7
|
|
|
|
messages on node #6. Could get very tricky quickly.
|
|
|
|
3. (More reasonable) I would like to see a separate dialing
|
|
parameter file for specifying long distance dialing. Currently,
|
|
the nodelist file must be manually edited to adjust for: the
|
|
local area code (other local nodes must not have area codes in
|
|
their phone numbers), the type of long distance dialing (some
|
|
parts of the country prefix long-distance calls with a "1",
|
|
others do not), and possible local pbx codes (outside lines from
|
|
office phones may require an "8", or a "9". Finally, some
|
|
systems, (unfortunately a Rolm switch where I work), require an 8
|
|
digit (more or less) access code. Thus the whole dialing
|
|
sequence might be "8,12345678,(415)-555-1212". By putting this
|
|
"user dependent" dialing stuff in a separate file, the master
|
|
node list would not have to be changed by anyone.
|
|
|
|
The "DIALING.BBS" file might have:
|
|
local area code: 408
|
|
local dialing prefix string: 8, (comma is "Hayes" pause)
|
|
long distance dialing prefix string: 8,12345678,
|
|
|
|
Of course, the dialing routines in FidoNet would know to read the
|
|
parameter file and adjust the dialed number accordingly.
|
|
|
|
3A. (low priority) If the goal of #3 is allow distribution of a
|
|
virgin nodelist, one might also argue to keep the costs in
|
|
another file so that each Sysop could adjust the cost for sending
|
|
mail without changing the main nodelist file. Personally, I
|
|
don't think this is as much of a problem or could be handled
|
|
later if needed.
|
|
|
|
4. (Not really a suggestion) Being a bit new to Fido, let me
|
|
ask a question which borders on the "yet another request for a
|
|
gateway" but hopefully won't be a direct request.
|
|
|
|
Assume that you know FidoNet will only be sending mail/files to
|
|
one other node. (Can be contrived by using a special schedule
|
|
with only two nodes enabled). Can one stop Fido after it
|
|
prepares the outgoing packet before it actually sends it, then
|
|
using a non Fido means (like manually XMODEM'ing) transfer the
|
|
file to the destination node (which is NOT running Fido at the
|
|
moment), and finally, when Fido is started in the receiving node
|
|
could it process the incoming packet not knowing that it was sent
|
|
in this round-about way?
|
|
|
|
Now that I have totally confused everyone, let me explain the
|
|
(possibly convoluted) reasoning behind this. If two Sysops, say
|
|
one on the West Coast and one on the East coast agree to act as a
|
|
manual gateway, if this technique worked, it might be possible to
|
|
create a very viable super-gateway without months and months of
|
|
modifications to Fido (or perhaps only slight changes to make
|
|
this work.)
|
|
|
|
Why would this be useful in place of the normal FidoNet mail
|
|
link? Well, what if these two sysops each have access to a
|
|
"private, but zero-cost or low-cost communications link" that
|
|
they have permission to use? This would allow them to gateway
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fidonews -- 06 Jan 85 21:33:43 Page 8
|
|
|
|
mail between other nodes without having to sacrifice the security
|
|
of their private link thereby losing the privilege.
|
|
|
|
Since the link is private, it would never use the same protocol
|
|
that FidoNet uses (this is a response to the question "if Fido
|
|
software could be enhanced with complete gateway support, why
|
|
would this private-manual-link ever be needed?").
|
|
|
|
A quote that many of us are familiar with is "Imitation is the
|
|
sincerest form of flattery". A corollary that is suitable for
|
|
readers of this newsletter and TJ is "requests for enhancements
|
|
are the sincerest form of thank-you for a useful program".
|
|
|
|
Thanks Tom for a wonderful package. AS IS it is great.
|
|
Improvements only make it better and better.
