    Hi all,

    Just posting to see if all is working well bi-directionally here. My node is online and
    accessible, but is still very fresh and going through a bunch of changes, somewhat slowly.

    Look forward to catching up on the discussions!

    Looks good here..

    If you are interested in fidonet let me know, would be happy to have a node in Kamloops in net 153.

    Thanks very much for letting me know about both, appreciated! I will see how things go with
    my setup and will get in touch if I go down the Fido path!

    Thanks, it looks like it's getting around, dirty message! ;-)

    I'm pretty pleased that the setup has gone as smoothly as it has - FTN stuff in
    Synchronet's
    all new to me, so it's been interesting stepping through things. Half decent documentation is
    so incredibly valuable!

    Thanks again for getting me setup so quickly and smoothly. Everything's been great so far!

    That's interesting - I haven't yet figured out why Synchro developed the QWK networking bits.

    I think it's a remnant from dial-up days, but there are still a fair number
    of people who use it. Even Mystic has QWK networking capabilities. (Not as a hub, but for a node) I'm using Mystic to pull DoveNet from DigitalMan, and
    used to carry a few other QWK networks.

    QWK was for offline message reading/responding, but I never heard of it being a

    One of the nets I was connected to in the 90s was a hybrid QWK/FTN net. We were connected via FTN, but many of the US nodes were QWK. This dates back at least to the early 90s, so QWK networking is nothing new. :)
