Business portal. ECHO European Commission Host Organization. Its I'M GUIDE provides information about online services within the European Common Market. Exec PC Network BBS (U.S.A.) In January, 1995, it had over 300 incoming phone lines, and more than 650,000 files available for downloading (including the complete selection from PC SIG California). Over 200 conferences focusing on owners of IBM compatible computers (MS/PC DOS, Windows, OS/2, Windows, Unix), Apple Macintosh, Amiga and Atari ST. FidoNet is an amateur electronic mail network founded in 1984 for automatic transfers of files from one place to the other at night, when the telephone rates are low. FidoNet are in countries all over the world, and consists mainly of personal computers (IBM/Amiga /Macintosh...). FidoNet systems exchange documents by using a modem and calling another FidoNet system. Communication can be either direct to the destination system (calling long distance) or by routing a message to a local system. Each computer connected to FidoNet is called a node. In November 1995, it had over 35,000 nodes in 96 countries (source: FidoNet host table). The number of nodes used to be growing at about 40 percent per year, but this levelled off when the Internet's strong growth started. In 1997, it had around 30.000 nodes. Most nodes are operated by volunteers, and access is free. FidoNet is believed to have over 2.56 million users (1994/Matrix News). Conferences (called ECHOs or Echomail) are broadcasted between interested nodes, and may thus have thousands of readers. The selection of echomail conferences on a given FidoNet board can be as unique as the rest of the system. A typical FidoNet Echomail conference gets 50 to 100 messages each day. Any connected BBS may carry 50, 100, or more echomail conferences. In addition to, electronic mail, Fidonet distributes programs, pictures, and text files. NetMail is Fidonet's simple, person to person, electronic mail message system. FidoNet users can also send and receive mail through the Internet. The list of member bulletin boards, the Nodelist, may be retrieved from most boards. Each node has one line on this list, like in this example: ,10,Home_of_PCQ,Warszawa,Jan_Stozek,48 22 410374,9600,V32,MNP,XA The commas are field separators. The first field (empty in this example) starts a zone, region, local net, Host, or shows a private space (with the keyword Pvt). The second field (10) is the node number, and the third field (Home_of_PCQ) is the name for the node. The fourth field (Warszawa) is a geographical notation, and the fifth field (Jan_Stozek) is the name of the owner. The sixth field is a telephone contact number, and the other fields contain various technical information used in making connections. FidoNet has six major geographical zones: (1) North America, (2) Europe, including Russian Asia, (3) Australasia, (4) America Latina, (5) Africa, (6) the Asian Pacific.
