FidoNet n.
A worldwide hobbyist network of personal
computers which exchanges mail, discussion groups, and files.
Founded in 1984 and originally consisting only of IBM PCs and
compatibles, FidoNet now includes such diverse machines as Apple
][s, Ataris, Amigas, and Unix systems. For years FidoNet actually
grew faster than Usenet, but the advent of cheap Internet access
probably means its days are numbered. In early 1999 Fidonet
has approximately 30,000 nodes, down from 38K in 1996.
