  • Fidonet number

    From Jp A@00planter-candor@icloud.com to alt.bbs on Fri Apr 17 00:07:37 2026
    Hello,

    What are the alternatives of getting a node number if we are unable
    to get a response from the coordinator of the net or the zone after
    several attempts and that everything was check and agreed to?

    Regards,

    Where are you located?

    Basically you can connect to any net as all traffic is nowadays by ip.

    Check the latest nodelist at https://fidonet.fi/pub/nodelist/

    Where are you located? The escalation path varies as Fidonet used to be
    a geographically-separated network out of need.

    I'm a Fido regional coordinator (California/Nevada) might be easier to
    sort this out through email, below.
