    Remarks:

    f Has a ::f1d0:<zone>:<net>:<node> style host address.
    (zone, net, node in decimal notation)
    IO Incoming only (Node can not make outgoing IPv6 calls)
    OO Outgoing only (Node can not accept incoming IPv6 calls).
    INO4 No IPv4 (Node can not accept incoming IPv4 calls).
    PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
    but is configured to try IPv4 first)
    6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
    NO6 The node no longer presents an IPv6 address in the nodelist
    and will soon be removed from this list.
    HOLD The node is temporarely off-line. Mail may be routed.
    DOWN This node is Down for both IPv4 and IPv6 and will be
    removed from this list if the condition pertains.
    PM Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
    capability but is not listed or does not advertise an
    IPv6 address in the Fidonet nodelist yet.

    PM *1 lounge.egontech.com

    Notes:

    To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
    one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
    node config for binkd up to 1.1a-96, -64 option for binkd 1.1a-97
    and up when compiled with AF_FORCE=1). If the destination address
    is a 6to4 tunnel address (2002::/16) many OSs default to IPv4 if
    an IPv4 address is present.

    JAMNNTPD SERVERS LIST =================================================================

    The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project

    This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
    the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.

    You connect to them using the newsreader of your choice and you don't
    need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless of
    operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours.

    Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get
    your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to
    your job, school or whatever.

    FIDONEWS INFORMATION =================================================================

    How to Submit an Article

    If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
    are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
    method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
    will appear in the Fidonews:

    a) Plain text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably
    quite OK. TABs (ASCII 09) are not allowed -- there's no knowing
    how long you've set your tab markings. No line may be longer
    than 70 characters.

    b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
    time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
    the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
    format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
    the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
    your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
    may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
    personal comments.

    c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.


    In case a) and b) above is not crystal clear, here's an excellent
    summary by Ward Dossche, a major article contributor:

    Piece of cake:

    1) Ascii text
    2) Line length of 70
    3) Put this at the very top:

    *The title of your text
    The title of your text
    Your Name - Your Nodenumber

    The title is there twice, the line with the * is how it will be
    visible in the table of content.


    Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
    and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
    file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
    extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.

    Ideas for Subject areas:

    Subject File | Subject File ----------------------------------|----------------------------------
    From the *C's *.css | Rebuttals to articles *.reb
    Fidonet Regional News *.reg | Fidonet Net News *.net
    Retractions *.rtx | General Fidonet Articles *.art

    Clean Humor & Jokes *.jok | Other Stuff *.oth
    Fidonet Classified Ads *.ads | Corrections *.cor
    Best of Fidonet *.bof | Letters to the Editor *.let

    If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
    on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.

    If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
    in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
    of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
    sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
    article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
    can not fix and I need your help on it.

    Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:

    Björn Felten
    Fidonet 2:2/2 or 2:203/0
    E-Mail b @ felten dot se
    Skype file bfelten

    IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
    word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
    will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
    folder.

    Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
    That way I will know to look for it.

    Maybe. Does it change the fact that it should have been updated by the illustrious Snooze editor many months ago?

    Hey Dan,

    Maybe. Does it change the fact that it should have been updated by the illustrious Snooze editor many months ago?

    No, it does not. It should have been updated and probably it will. I think the problem lies in the fact that whenever a person closes the door behind him/her very little attention is given to inform those that stay behid to pick-up the thread or wind a particular activity down.

    Now that we're talking, are you interested in a list of dozens

    I will react the way my good friend Nick Andre would want me to react ... no-one's paying me a salary and what you're asking is a pretty big job, even with a reduced nodelist these days.

    To give you an idea ...

    R14 has 25 entries in the region-segment but only 3 can be reached. 1:14/0 is not one of them.

    R15 has 71 entries in its region-segment a multitude of which are equally unreachable fro; this location.

    This can have sevaral reasons:

    * Nodelist errors, for example not putting a non-standard port after the
    domain but as "IBN:24555". That cannot be parsed by known software
    * Invalid domain name
    * Expired domain name
    * Bad binkd-configuration
    * Blocking inbound calls
    * ...

    I had a check ran as you suggested and I'm getting 217 entries with connection issues but the 'nodelist police' think I'm way too severe so I will be looking into this again at a later moment.

    Take care,

    Oh no, please ... way too much work ... trimming trees, mowing grass, household, take trash to recycling center, shop for food, cook, dishes, pay taxes (yea, we've got the buggers too), take care of grand-kids ... I even don't get to go to my sailboat at the coast ...

    I will react the way my good friend Nick Andre would want me to react ... no-one's paying me a salary and what you're asking is a pretty big job, eve with a reduced nodelist these days.

    True... The nodelist isn't that big and neither is the D'Bridge code.

    I've written many fixes for that on my own time... because I was asked politely, not because some morons created a police-echo when I refused to
    march to the suspender-snapping cadence.

    Maybe. Does it change the fact that it should have been updated by the illustrious Snooze editor many months ago?

    Checking the entries in what basically means an ad for peoples BBSs isn't in the Editors job description.

    But thanks for pointing the error out, albeit you could have made it in netmail, now that the sysop himself didn't care about it.

    Curious. Seems like the Editor-in-Chief would/should be responsible for
    all content of the publication. That's generally true for most any other periodical I can think of. Who else would/could do it?

    But thanks for pointing the error out, albeit you could have

    I have a vague memory, not completely sure of though; that the sysop in question has passed away...

    Well, what salary do those Editors that you think of have?

    Who else? For a non-profit community driven publication, it's usually the community that's responsible for it's content.

    Significant salary, I'm sure. Not really relevant, though, as your
    position is voluntary and you knew there was no salary when you took on
    the job. Are you now saying you don't want to do the Editor's job
    unless you are paid?

    Who else? For a non-profit community driven publication, it's
    usually the community that's responsible for it's content.

    Sure, the content when it comes to "news" articles and so on is. But
    the material under discussion here is "static" stuff that simply gets copy/pasted into each edition. It rarely changes, but sometimes does.
    So in this case, the community, namely *ME*, noticed an error and
    brought it to the attention of the designated Editor. I cannot
    delete/alter any content myself, so wouldn't it make sense that the
    Editor would do it after being informed of a change? It would seem that
    all has worked as expected, at least to this point. Correct?


    ... Would you like to wake up from this dream?

    Hello Björn,

    Curious. Seems like the Editor-in-Chief would/should be responsible
    for
    all content of the publication. That's generally true for most any
    other
    periodical I can think of. Who else would/could do it?

    Well, what salary do those Editors that you think of have?

    Who else? For a non-profit community driven publication, it's usually the community that's responsible for it's content.

    Dan is absolutely correct. And I mean absolutely. In fact, Dan has
    come up with the perfect solution, as noted in his own words -

    I cannot delete/alter any content myself, so wouldn't it make sense
    that the Editor would do it after being informed of a change? It
    would seem that all has worked as expected, at least to this point.
    Correct?

    Dan has spotted the problem, and offered a solution to fix it.
    After all, this is a non-profit community driven publication.
    And Dan is a full-fledged member of that non-profit community
    driven publication. And he really did make you an offer. An
    offer you really cannot refuse.

    So. It is all up to you now. Are you going to let him do it?
    I mean, he did offer to fix it. All by himself. At no cost to
    anybody else. So whataya say? He just made you an offer you
    cannot refuse and you gonna tell him no? Let him do it! Let
    him do it! You'll never forget it. Trust me, you'll never
    forget it. Or believe another word I ever say.

    For Life,
    Lee

    There's no need to patronize the guy.

    Yes, it's nice that he finally understood what most of us have known for decades, and maybe even a few more now understand the concept.

    Of course the Editor will listen to what the community has to say. DUH!
