We still had fidonet idiots who wanted to make a mess and as a result, many fidonet policies were adopted to prevent the spamming, and the denial of service attacks that fidonet could generate. We did a gateway for Internet to Fidonet for years at OSU. The only thing you can say about it was that it was slower... much much much slower. % Thought it was funny, John.
