Internet, FidoNet was a world-wide network of independant BBS's.   
        Fido is far from dead. In fact, some sysops have claimed an increase in 
Whups!  I did not mean to imply at all that Fido was dead.  Only that I was

  I have a wide assortment of BBS software oriented

Btw, is Tom(?) Jennings (is that his name?  the author of Fido) still around

greater acclaim than he has received.
