There is a notice in this Issue about ISDN flag changes in the Zone 1
|
||
Nodelist segment. It's one of our functions here.
|
||
|
||
There is NO notice of the apparently impending ZC1 election. There is
|
||
NO notice of the apparently active IC election. That is to say, there
|
||
is no official notice of either. What's up with that?
|
||
|
||
For a Network founded on and dedicated to communication, there seems
|
||
to be precious little communicating going on from FidoNet's upper
|
||
Coordinator cadre. Why is that?
|
||
|
||
We all know how long it takes to write a Netmail message. It takes
|
||
scarcely longer to edit and submit a FidoNews article [.ART] or
|
||
notice [.NOT]. The only thing required is the will to do so. Where
|
||
is it?
|
||
|
||
Think of these as the Questions of the Week but not in the QOTW
|
||
section [making this a shorter Issue {grin}]. It would be swell to
|
||
have some Answers of the Week for FidoNews 1409. When will that
|
||
happen?
|
||
|
||
Don't forget the FIDONEWS Echo and the FidoNet WebRing!

|

IC-election
|
||
|
||
|
||
Dear RC,
|
||
|
||
The IC-election has now finally started.
|
||
|
||
There are 2 candidates :
|
||
|
||
* ZC/2 Ward Dossche
|
||
* ZC/5 Henk Wolsink
|
||
|
||
They were nominated by :
|
||
|
||
* ZC/2 by ZC/3 and ZC/6
|
||
* ZC/5 by ZC/1
|
||
|
||
Votes cast so far:
|
||
|
||
* ZC/2 by Zone-3 / Total=1
|
||
* ZC/5 by Zone-1 / Total=1
|
||
|
||
Zone-4 and -6 have expressed to support ZC/2 and probably will vote
|
||
that way.
|
||
|
||
As it is safe to assume ZC/5 will vote for himself this leaves the
|
||
vote of Zone-2 unaccounted for.
|
||
|
||
My question therefor to you is to provide guidance in this election.
|
||
|
||
If I'm guided to vote in zone-2's name for ZC/2 then it concludes the
|
||
election and there is an IC.
|
||
|
||
If I'm guided to vote in zone-2's name for ZC/5 then the election most
|
||
likely will be a draw after a 20-month process.
|
||
|
||
The deadline for me to cast my vote is February 28th, that leaves 10
|
||
days at this moment. That's not a great deal of time and it
|
||
unfortunately coincides with the ZC-election but I'd appreciate anyway
|
||
you taking some time and providing me with the guidance I request.
|
||
|
||
Thank you very much for your effort.

problems in Fidonet(r) and possible methods of solution. No
|
||
proposed solutions in this document are intended as
|

standards for Fidonet. Rather, it is hoped that a general
|
||
consensus will emerge as to the appropriate solution to such
|
||
problems, leading eventually to the adoption of standards.

Modem Handling
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
The current nodelist doesn't provide enought information for really
|
||
fancy handling of modems and connections. With the advent of line
|
||
sharing between modems/faxes certain additions to the nodelist flags
|
||
are required.
|
||
|
||
I am currently writing a product which will handle and use the
|
||
following codes
|
||
|
||
Y.... where .... can consist of the hardware protocols the modem

A proposal for unique message identifiers

Status of this document:
|
||
|
||
This FSC presents the final draft of a proposed FTSC (FidoNet(r)
|
||
Technical Standards Committee) standard for the FidoNet community
|
||
and requests comments from all interested parties. Distribution
|
||
of this document is unlimited.
|
||
|
||
Fido and FidoNet are registered marks of Tom Jennings and Fido
|
||
Software.
|
||
|
||
MSGID
|
||
|
||
A MSGID line consists of the string "^AMSGID:" (where ^A is a
|
||
control-A (hex 01) and the double-quotes are not part of the
|
||
string), followed by a space, the address of the originating
|
||
system, and a serial number unique to that message on the
|
||
originating system, i.e.:
|
||
|
||
^AMSGID: origaddr serialno
|
||
|
||
The originating address should be specified in a form that
|
||
constitutes a valid return address for the originating network.
|
||
If the originating address is enclosed in double-quotes, the
|
||
entire string between the beginning and ending double-quotes is
|
||
considered to be the orginating address. A double-quote
|
||
character within a quoted address is represented by by two
|
||
consecutive double-quote characters. The serial number may be
|
||
any eight character hexadecimal number, as long as it is unique
|
||
- no two messages from a given system may have the same serial
|
||
number within a very long period of time. The manner in which
|
||
this serial number is generated is left to the implementor.
|
||
|
||
REPLY
|
||
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-08 Page 7 24 Feb 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
A REPLY line consists of the string "^AREPLY:" (where ^A is a
|
||
control-A (hex 01) and the double-quotes are not part of the
|
||
string), followed by a space, and the origaddr and serialno
|
||
fields of the MSGID line of the message to which this message is
|
||
a reply, i.e.:
|
||
|
||
^AREPLY: origaddr serialno
|
||
|
||
The origaddr and serialno fields must be identical to the
|
||
corresponding fields in the MSGID of the message to which this
|
||
message is a reply. A REPLY line is never generated in a
|
||
message that is a reply to a message that does not contain a
|
||
MSGID line.
|
||
|
||
GENERAL
|
||
|
||
For best results, MSGID and REPLY lines should be the first two
|
||
lines of the message after extended addressing lines (FMPT, TOPT,
|
||
INTL, DOMAIN), with MSGID appearing above REPLY.
|
||
|
||
Finally, a MSGID is generated only at the time of message
|
||
creation. An existing MSGID and/or REPLY should never be
|
||
stripped from a message passing through an intermediate system.
|
||
No system should ever add an MSGID and/or REPLY to, or modify an
|
||
existing MSGID / REPLY contained in, a message not originating
|
||
on that system.

0.0) A QUICK INTRODUCTION AND STATEMENT OF INTENT
|
||
|
||
The request for a gateway between WWIVnet and FidoNet through
|
||
a program called NetSEX was sent in to Randy Bush (1:105/6)
|
||
approximately a month ago. During that time there have been
|
||
many questions pertaining to NetSEX that I feel are relevent
|
||
to the proposed gateway between WWIVnet and FidoNet.
|
||
|
||
The major questions that I feel needs to be dealt with are:
|
||
|
||
Will it be possible for WWIV Technology Networks to use
|
||
the NetSEX gateway, and if so: will a seperate gateway
|
||
agreement be necessary?
|
||
|
||
Will it be possibile for WWIV BBSes that are not in
|
||
WWIVnet or WWIV Technology Networks to use NetSEX to
|
||
interface their BBS with FidoNet?
|
||
|
||
The current gateway proposal that I have sent in pertains
|
||
only to WWIVnet and FidoNet. What I would like to do is have
|
||
that policy be between FidoNet and a "NetSEX-Project" that
|
||
will keep a list of who's using NetSEX, what their FidoNet
|
||
address is, what their WWIV Technology Network addresses are
|
||
(for the NetSEX node and BBS node), and if they gateway to a
|
||
WWIV Technology Network: which one.
|
||
|
||
To support my reasoning I will discuss each question a bit
|
||
and explain my proposal.
|
||
|
||
1.0) WILL IT BE POSSIBLE FOR WWIV TECHNOLOGY NETWORKS TO USE
|
||
THE NetSEX GATEWAY, AND IF SO: WILL A SEPERATE GATEWAY
|
||
AGREEMENT BE NECESSARY?
|
||
|
||
There have been several proposed-alternatives to WWIVnet that
|
||
be WWIV Technology Networks. Various planners from these
|
||
networks have asked whether or not they would be able to use
|
||
NetSEX to gateway between FidoNet and their proposed
|
||
networks, and if so what steps would need to be taken.
|
||
|
||
These proposed networks would be using BBSLIST.NET (a list of
|
||
all nodes in the network, similar to FidoNet's NODELIST) and
|
||
CONNECT.NET (a listing of all nodes in the BBSLIST.NET file
|
||
and how they connect to one another-- a topology map) files
|
||
that are independent of WWIVnet. They would be using their
|
||
own nodenumbering schemes (however still be restricted to the
|
||
65k maximum).
|
||
|
||
There were various possible things offered by these people
|
||
that would possily work, but in the end my response has been
|
||
that the current proposed policy between WWIVnet and FidoNet
|
||
is between those two networks, and if they were to gateway
|
||
between their non-WWIVnet WWIV Technology Networks they would
|
||
need to approach the FTSC for an agreement.
|
||
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-08 Page 9 24 Feb 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
1.1) WILL THERE BE ANY POSSIBILITIES FOR WWIV BBSes THAT ARE
|
||
NOT IN WWIVnet OR WWIV TECHNOLOGY NETWORKS TO USE NetSEX TO
|
||
INTERFACE THEIR BBS WITH FidoNet?
|
||
|
||
There are several WWIV BBSes that are interested in
|
||
connecting with FidoNet but are not interested in joining
|
||
WWIVnet (which is the only network currently operating with
|
||
WWIV Technology). Of the several people who have asked, all
|
||
of them are running FourDog but would like to get the speed
|
||
of NetSEX and the correct placing of Netmail into mailboxes
|
||
as opposed to the method FourDog uses.
|
||
|
||
It is possible to run NetSEX on a non-WWIVnet BBS by creating
|
||
the data files for a WWIV Technology Network that contain
|
||
their NetSEX node and their "WWIVnet" node. They would
|
||
essentially be faking out the software by running a network
|
||
consisting of two nodes.
|
||
|
||
This question I have been unable to sufficiently answer.
|
||
While this situation would involve someone that only belongs
|
||
to FidoNet, it would still be using software designed to
|
||
gateway and it would be gatewaying messages from FidoNet to a
|
||
WWIV Technology Network that consisted of one node.
|
||
|
||
2.0) MY PROPOSED AGREEMENT
|
||
|
||
What I would like to do is provide all sides with the best
|
||
possible solution that will privide all sides with that same
|
||
solution. As it stands now, the proposed gateway is between
|
||
FidoNet and WWIVnet. What I would rather see is a policy
|
||
between FidoNet and an entity called "The NetSEX Project"
|
||
that would keep track of where NetSEX is being used to
|
||
interface and/or gateway with FidoNet. To be more specific,
|
||
and entity that would do the following:
|
||
|
||
a) keep track of all WWIV-BBSes running NetSEX simply to
|
||
interface with FidoNet. These would be systems that are
|
||
not in WWIVnet or any other WWIV Technology Network. A
|
||
listing of their FidoNet address, node number used for
|
||
the BBS, and node number used for the NetSEX address
|
||
would be kept.
|
||
|
||
b) keep track of all WWIV-BBses running NetSEX that are
|
||
connected to a WWIV Technology Network. A listing of
|
||
their FidoNet address, the name of the WWIV Technology
|
||
Network they belong to, what address they use in the
|
||
WWIV Technology Network, and the address in the WWIV
|
||
Technology Network they are using for their NetSEX node
|
||
would be kept.
|
||
|
||
c) do monthly or bi-monthly tests of all NetSEX nodes and
|
||
create a conference (EchoMail for FidoNet, Sub for WWIV
|
||
systems) to support and discuss NetSEX.
|
||
|
||
d) have a reserved range in the WWIV Technology Network
|
||
for NetSEX (and/or other gateways) nodes, and have
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-08 Page 10 24 Feb 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
someone in that network serve as a liason between the
|
||
"NetSEX Project" and the WWIV Technology Network.
|
||
|
||
e) upload all of the files on one or more FidoNet systems
|
||
where the various members of the FTSC who work with
|
||
gateways can track down information they may need.
|
||
|
||
Given these actions, the following is hoped to be
|
||
accomplished:
|
||
|
||
a) permit non-WWIV Technology Network systems to use
|
||
NetSEX while being covered by an agreement between
|
||
FidoNet to do so.
|
||
|
||
b) permit non-WWIVnet yet still WWIV Technology Networks
|
||
to use NetSEX while being covered by an agreement
|
||
between FidoNet and the "NetSEX Project" to do so.
|
||
|
||
c) keep an index of all systems using NetSEX, and keep a
|
||
listing of what WWIV Technology Networks are accessable
|
||
through FidoNet.
|
||
|
||
d) offer an easy-access place for people to get
|
||
information pertaining to NetSEX, FidoNet, and WWIV
|
||
Technology Networks.
|
||
|
||
This proposed entity, the "NetSEX Project" would be an entity
|
||
existing off of FidoNet. I offer to do all of the data
|
||
collection and send the information to the people who would
|
||
like it (providing it is of reasonable cost phone the phone
|
||
connections).
|
||
|
||
There are many benefits, and no drawbacks that I can see.
|
||
|
||
3.0) AN END NOTE
|
||
|
||
I am expecting that this will be approved, or even if it is
|
||
it will not be without some form of modification. It seems to
|
||
me that this would be the best way to handle the NetSEX
|
||
gateway without spending a great deal of time approving
|
||
individual networks that are based around the same network
|
||
technology. This proposal was made from the point of view of
|
||
someone that are working from within FidoNet.

Some Hints on Recognizing Control Lines in FidoNet(r) Message

|
||
|
||
Implementors have had problems interpreting message text, both in
|
||
netmail and echomail. While the clues are usually to be found in some
|
||
doucment or another, there seems to be a need to collect hints for
|
||
some confusing aspects. This informal documents attempts to address
|
||
that need.
|
||
|
||
Filter out all <lf>s and 'soft' <cr>s and <lf>s. They are surplus and
|
||
will only confuse the rest of your code.
|
||
|
||
All control lines have their sentinels at the beginning of a line. [
|
||
Note that an * Origin: line has a leading significant blank. ]
|
||
|
||
Do not process quoted control lines or control sentinels preceeded by
|
||
blanks, tabs, ...
|
||
|
||
If you become confused, then bounce or sidetrack the message to a hold
|
||
area for human intervention. Don't try to rescue the situation. None
|
||
will notice when you succeed, and many will flame whan you fail.
|
||
|
||
A message is either netmail or echomail. I.e. no ^aINTL, ^aFMPT, or
|
||
^aTOPT controls should be found or generated when there is an AREA:
|
||
line or when in an echo area. Thus, echomail can not be routed across
|
||
zones, but this is not a big loss.
|
||
|
||
Private netmail replies to echomail are netmail, i.e. may have ^aINTL
|
||
etc., and may not have AREA: line, SEEN-BY:, or ^aPATH: lines. They
|
||
may have a tear line and an origin line.
|
||
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-08 Page 12 24 Feb 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
^aEID lines are as in Opus 1.03. Other forms are not to be generated,
|
||
and, if found, may be safely disgarded.
|
||
|
||
An AREA: line must be the first non ^a line in the text.
|
||
|
||
The echomail control info is a four-part package at the end of the
|
||
text. It should not be, but occasionally is, followed by one or more
|
||
^a control lines. The four parts of an echomail trailer are:
|
||
|
||
o a tear line, "---" and some very short text identifying the
|
||
original echo processor. Eg.
|
||
--- Brag 3.14
|
||
|
||
* note that some internetworking gateware may place a # Origin: line
|
||
between the tear line and the * Origin: line to indicate the true
|
||
other network address, whatver that may be. The content of a #
|
||
Origin: line is free to be specified by the other network(s). An
|
||
example might be as follows:
|
||
# Origin: Political Statement (FishNet:914@201)
|
||
|
||
o one * Origin: line, being " * Origin: " ends in "(" [Z:] N "/" N
|
||
[.P] ")" of FidoNet node of origin or the gate from FidoNet to
|
||
another network
|
||
* Origin: <signature> (1:105/301)
|
||
|
||
o as many SEEN-BY: lines as necessary, each being "SEEN-BY:"
|
||
followed by one or more
|
||
" " <net> "/" <node>
|
||
sequences. Note that SEEN-BY: lines do not end in <space>.
|
||
|
||
The net/node numbers in SEEN-BY: lines are sorted net major.
|
||
Within a single SEEN-BY: line, net numbers are sticky, so the N/N
|
||
is usually abbreviated to N, Eg.
|
||
SEEN-BY: 105/6 10 15 16 27 41 42 300 301 141/42 491
|
||
|
||
o as many ^aPATH: lines as necessary, each being <ctrl-A> "PATH:"
|
||
followed
|
||
by one or more
|
||
" " <net> "/" <node>
|
||
sequences. The N/N in ^aPATH: lines are specifically not sorted.
|
||
Net numbers are also sticky in ^aPATH: lines, eg.
|
||
PATH: 105/301 6 42
|
||
|
||
Remember that traffic costs much money, and do not create text
|
||
unnecessary to FidoNet as a whole.
|
||
|
||
I did not invent this, so don't blame me. I'm just trying to write it
|
||
down.
|
||
|
||
And, lastly, try not to be inventive. While the free-form syntax of
|
||
this embedded stuff does provide fleibility and power, it also leaves
|
||
a lot of room to make disgusting messes. Compromise, cooperation, and
|
||
a minimizalist touch are essential.

Zone 1 has taken another step in the ongoing increase in technology.
|
||
As of the February 14th nodelist, the Zone 1 ISDN flags have been
|
||
changed to comply with FSC-0091. There will be a 1 month grace period
|
||
during which either old or new flags will be valid, after which only
|
||
the new flags will be used.

;S - Nodes in the USA currently use the 'ISDN' flag.

equipment.
|

;S Some to only V120L (still with 56k lines).
|

;S - Nodes in Europe currently use the ISDNA, ISDNB and ISDNC flags.
|

;S A simple translation will do the trick here.
