Subj: Help Make a Wish
|
||
|
||
Hey, how about helping to make a wish come true?
|
||
The "Make a Wish Foundation" is asking people to
|
||
send post cards to a 7-year old boy in Scotland who
|
||
has leukemia. His dream is to get his postcard
|
||
collection into the "Guinness Book of World Records."
|
||
It only costs 33 cents to mail a postcard to
|
||
Scotland. The address is:
|
||
|
||
Little Buddy
|
||
P. O. Box 76
|
||
Paisley Renschewshire,
|
||
Scotland, United Kingdom
|
||
|
||
Please, when you log onto other BBS's, pass this message
|
||
around. We'll all be helping to make this little boy's
|
||
life a whole lot brighter.
|
||
Thank you from Judi Duda and Lee Henry of the "Make a
|
||
Wish Foundation" and from Rob and Nancy Carr (two
|
||
nut-cases with a TRS-80 Model IV).

Perhaps you didn't see the notification that the "Little Buddy"

story is an old hoax. I haven't attempted any verification.

Chris - I received a message from the moderator of the Disabled
|
||
conference on Usenet telling me that this message is at least
|
||
2 years old ... it started on Usenet about 1984 and mail has
|
||
been marked returned for years ... you might want to renotify
|
||
everyone ... David
|
||
|
||
********
|
||
so FidoNet falls for an old Usenet gag? look for an upcoming
|
||
article in FidoNews on FidoNet and broadcast appeals.

==== Text Ends ====
|
||
|
||
|
||
What was this all about, you ask? This was a hoax picked up from
|
||
Usenet (a UNIX conferencing system) and introduced into FidoNet.
|
||
What happened next? I took the message, converted it into a text
|
||
file and broadcast it to the Hosts in my Region (18), IFNA HQ,
|
||
1-3/0, and the Hosts of FireNet and Health Net Echo; with a
|
||
carbon copy back to the originator.
|
||
|
||
Within 24 hours this message was making the rounds of the U.S.,
|
||
Europe, and the South Pacific; spreading like crazy from Rangoon
|
||
to Reykjavik (figuratively speaking).
|
||
|
||
When the word came in that this old chestnut was ancient history
|
||
on Usenet, the retraction went out with the same speed. As the
|
||
cancellations went out, the power and potential of this affair
|
||
began to dawn on me.
|
||
|
||
The International Fido Network represents over one thousand
|
||
publically accessible Nodes, spanning the globe. If every Node
|
||
has only 100 hundred users (very conservative figure), that now
|
||
Fidonews Page 5 9 Feb 1987
|
||
|
||
|
||
represents 100,000 people who are exposed to anything put into
|
||
the FidoNet. If each one of those users took the information
|
||
(as a hard-copy) and posted it on a company or community
|
||
bulletin board and thereby exposed 10 more people to the
|
||
information, we have reached one million people. Given more
|
||
people in any part of this equation and the possible exposure
|
||
would be even more tremendous. Consider. This thing has been
|
||
been growing by leaps and bounds since its creation but have you
|
||
stopped to reflect on the enormity of what we are doing?
|
||
|
||
What we have, in FidoNet, is an incredible, grass roots system
|
||
for communicating world-wide with people and cultures we would
|
||
never touch without it. With the adjuncts of SEAdog and Opus and
|
||
the other systems to come, we have the ability to send NetMail
|
||
anytime, virtually any place. Don't think just of NetMail to a
|
||
Node next door. Think of the possibilities.
|
||
|
||
Even though this "wish" was not genuine, the speed and power of
|
||
FidoNet was amply demonstrated. Think of this "joke" as a drill
|
||
that demonstrated that FidoNet is alive and well and READY for
|
||
action. There is something to be gained from this experience.
|
||
|
||
What I propose, now, is setting some standards for a broadcast
|
||
appeal entered into the Fido Network, hereinafter referred to as
|
||
a FidoCast(c).[IFNA, you are welcome to this term.]
|
||
|
||
1. The message should be labeled as a FidoCast to
|
||
indicate handling over the FidoNet.
|
||
|
||
2. The contents should be verified as genuine by the
|
||
Sysop/User entering the FidoCast into the system.
|
||
|
||
3. The message should contain a contact name and
|
||
number (Net/Node, telephone, etc.) of some kind
|
||
for the originator and/or the requestor.
|
||
|
||
4. The message should have an expiration and/or an
|
||
effective date (good idea, David) to indicate how
|
||
long it has been in the system and when it may be
|
||
tossed.
|
||
|
||
5. When received by a Host Node, the FidoCast should
|
||
be forwarded to all the Nodes that Host is
|
||
responsible for thus spreading the text as far as
|
||
possible.
|
||
|
||
6. When a FidoCast is posted on a Fido Node, users
|
||
should be encouraged to capture or download the
|
||
notice/file and post it to other BBSes or on
|
||
workplace and community bulletin boards and to
|
||
pass it on to as wide an audience as possible.
|
||
|
||
7. The originator or requestor should provide an
|
||
update on the status of the FidoCast, i.e., what
|
||
results were obtained. This report could be in the
|
||
form of another FidoCast or a FidoNews notice or
|
||
Fidonews Page 6 9 Feb 1987
|
||
|
||
|
||
article.
|
||
|
||
FidoCast is a workable method for introducing broadcast messages
|
||
into the FidoNet. The broadcast appeal has worked in the past as
|
||
you may recall from the Canadian appeal for information about
|
||
pediatric breathing disorders entered into the Network from Fred
|
||
Blauer. The costs associated with a FidoCast are minimal if it
|
||
is passed from point-to-point within the normal scope of Host
|
||
or Region to Node traffic, i.e., bundled with FidoNews or with
|
||
Nodediff Polls and pickups. Even if it is sent out from a few
|
||
central points, the cost is still negligible compared to a
|
||
telegram, mailgram or commercial time on radio or television.
|
||
|
||
This is only one good way to make FidoNet responsive and
|
||
respectable. It will work because FidoNet Sysops care. They care
|
||
about their systems. They care about their users. They WANT to
|
||
help and often do; without recompense and without hesitation.
|
||
|
||
We have just scratched the surface of a communications
|
||
revolution that will rival movable type! (Remember, you heard it
|
||
here, first.)
|
||
|
||
Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Respond here or by Net
|
||
Mail to 135/14.

About RECOVERY 125/0 9 31
|

(415) 621-5206
|
||
|
||
Bob Kovach, sysop
|
||
|
||
|
||
What is RECOVERY:
|
||
|
||
RECOVERY is a Fido BBS committed to the needs of people in
|
||
Twelve Step programs who are in recovery from various addictions
|
||
and compulsive behaviors. RECOVERY is also a valuable source of
|
||
information and support for for those who think they may have a
|
||
problem with an an addiction or a compulsive behavior.
|
||
|
||
The message areas include:
|
||
|
||
1) Alcoholics Anonymous
|
||
2) The Closed Meeting
|
||
3) Narcotics & Cocaine Anonymous
|
||
4) Overeaters Anonymous
|
||
5) Sex & Love Addicts Anonymous
|
||
6) Smokers Anonymous
|
||
7) Al-Anon Alateen & ACA
|
||
8) AIDS Network
|
||
9) RECOVERY Network (coming soon)
|
||
|
||
The file areas contain meeting listings and various
|
||
information files. The AIDS file area contains recent articles
|
||
by John S. James of the San Francisco Sentinal.
|
||
|
||
Many people have found the help they need and are able to
|
||
use RECOVERY as a tool for personal growth and as a forum where
|
||
they can share their experience, strength and hope with each
|
||
other.
|
||
|
||
The AIDS Network area has just started and will soon be a
|
||
nationwide conference for people with AIDS and ARC and for
|
||
those who are interested in learning more about the epidemic.
|
||
|
||
A similar network for RECOVERY will begin soon. If you are
|
||
interested in joining either of these echos please let me know.
|
||
I can poll you between the hours of midnight and 3am Pacific
|
||
time if you cannot afford the long distance costs.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Technical Stuff:
|
||
|
||
RECOVERY is running on an XT clone (8 mHz) with 640K and a
|
||
20MB hard disk. The two nodes are multitasking under DesqView
|
||
with independant mail systems, schedules and phone lines, while
|
||
maintaining common message and file systems and one user file.
|
||
The two phone lines are in hunting and are connected by two Hayes
|
||
1200 external modems.
|
||
|
||
The whole system is operating in one directory, except, of
|
||
Fidonews Page 8 9 Feb 1987
|
||
|
||
|
||
course for the message, file and help subdirectories. All the
|
||
Fido utilities are in a separate directory with a dos path to
|
||
them. This enables some order in the Fido root directory.
|
||
|
||
How does all this work in one directory with separate
|
||
schedules and mail systems? A little history first. At first it
|
||
was just 2 phone lines, one node number and one mail schedule, so
|
||
the /i switch worked fine except for an occasional crash. I
|
||
suspect the crash was caused by trying to write to user.bbs,
|
||
system.bbs, nodes.bbs or some-such file simultaneously by both
|
||
tasks.
|
||
|
||
The next stage was two separate directories with two node
|
||
numbers and separate schedules. This also meant two user files,
|
||
two system files and two timelog files. I think you can see the
|
||
nightmare here. The user file and total number of callers and
|
||
more were totally inaccurate. A nice man named John Penberthy
|
||
from CHINA BLUE 129/28 saw my plea on the SYSOP echo and sent me
|
||
DPATH. I was able to have each node in a separate directory with
|
||
DPATH writing to the files that needed to be common. It worked,
|
||
but that setup brought DesqView to its knees. It was very slow.
|
||
|
||
Then came the inspiration. I saw that it was possible to
|
||
patch FIDO and it's utilities so that I could rename the files
|
||
that I needed to keep separate. I used PCTools and searched for
|
||
the file name in FIDO that I wanted to change and changed it.
|
||
Some files appear several times in the FIDO code. The first name
|
||
I changed was FIDO_IBM. I changed that to FIDO2IBM so that it
|
||
could find its overlays. the other files I changed were:
|
||
|
||
SCHED.BBS SCH2D.BBS
|
||
WELCOME1.BBS WELCOM21.BBS
|
||
MAIL.SYS MA2L.SYS
|
||
LASTUSER.BBS LASTUSE2.BBS
|
||
NODES.BBS NODE2.BBS
|
||
|
||
Of course, the new file for the second task is called
|
||
FIDO2IBM.EXE. The whole procedure is painless and I have patched
|
||
SCANMAIL, TOSSMAIL, ROBOT and other utilities so that they
|
||
recognize the renamed MAIL.SYS. The utilities don't seem to use
|
||
overlays, so you may rename the patched files anything you like.
|
||
You may use any new file names that you like, as long as the new
|
||
file name is the same number of characters as the original file
|
||
name.
|
||
|
||
I havn't had any crashes and the system is dependably
|
||
running four separate mail schedules on the two nodes so that I
|
||
can distribute all the incoming mail, nodediffs, fnews and Net125
|
||
echomail without any delay. I call this whole process 'Blood on
|
||
the Keyboard' but it is really gratifying to see the modified
|
||
system in action.
|
||
|
||
|
||
About DesqView and FIDO:
|
||
|
||
I have not tried DoubleDos or MultiLink, but I know I like
|
||
Fidonews Page 9 9 Feb 1987
|
||
|
||
|
||
DesqView better if for only one reason. Windows! In addition to
|
||
the windows that allow me to see both tasks operating at the same
|
||
time, I can open a DOS window if I need to do some file shuffling
|
||
and not interupt the two FIDOS. I can cut and paste text between
|
||
windows and create keyboard macros called script files to speed
|
||
some operations. The user support at Quarterdeck Office Systems
|
||
if knowledgeable and very helpful. For example, when I asked
|
||
about setting the clocks for foreground and background tasks for
|
||
FIDO, they had information on what the RBBS folks use
|
||
successfully. 5 foreground and 4 background - High Speed Comm.
|
||
|
||
They also helped me with a script that allows both tasks to
|
||
start themselves on a re-boot. Define the ! key the way you
|
||
would start things manually. When DesqView is started the ! will
|
||
be executed.
|
||
|
||
A SI in each window shows about a 1.0 in the foreground and
|
||
0.9 in the background with the clone running at 8 mHz. It is a
|
||
little jerky appearing as the text comes out, but it is still a
|
||
little too fast for me to read at 1200 baud. Xmodem transfers
|
||
seem to take normal time.
|
||
|
||
|
||
I Have Some Questions:
|
||
|
||
1. Is there a fix for the last message read bug?
|
||
|
||
2. My Hayes 1200s can use the X4 option. Can Fido?
|
||
|
||
3. Is there a way to start Fido without 'Local Console
|
||
Off' when using the /i switch?
|
||
|
||
4. Is it possible to change the privilege for V)ersion to
|
||
sysop?
|
||
|
||
5. Is there a way to make ROUTEGEN recognize a node number
|
||
that is the same as the default net number?
|
||
|
||
6. Where can I get SETMARK?
|
||
|
||
|
||
I'd like to thank Tim Pozar 125/406, Butch Walker 161/1 and
|
||
John Penberthy 129/28 for their help in getting me this far. And
|
||
I'd especially like to thank Tom Jennings for providing FIDO and
|
||
for helping me get started in telecommunications three years ago.
|
||
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please let me know
|
||
if you would like to join the AIDS or RECOVERY echos.
|
||
|
||
Keep Calling Back, It Works!
