  • Memories echo

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to AUGUST ABOLINS on Tue Feb 11 09:58:00 2025
    Too bad there isn't a simple way to know what boards carry which echos.

    My way to know is if someone on that board posts in that echo.

    I mean, a way for a newbie exploring possible echos to know
    what boards carry it in the first place.

    Something akin to FILEFIND for files that probes participating
    BBSes, but instead ECHOFIND for echos and reports which BBSes
    carry a specific echo.

    The GT Power Network (which used proprietary networking software) had a
    third party add on that would report stats back to the NEC, who would
    compile them once a month and distribute them. It showed which boards
    carried which echoes, although I do not believe it descerned between
    "carried publicly" vs. skip/passthru.

    I look at messages in FIDO Memories when I see that some have been posted.
    I wonder how many folks still Read this echo?

    Not many I presume, but I do peruse from time to time out of curiosity. I'm guessing I'm the only Australian here? Perhaps the only from the Southern Hemisphere?

    There are a few Australians and New Zealanders on FSX Net, but FidoNet to me had a strong American bent to it. I've read posts
    here and there, but it was quite often reminiscing of things specific to America, products, restaurants, shows or other things that
    we just don't have in Australia.

    When I can find a BT device with a Jack for a CAT-5 plug on one end and a short antenna at the other end likeI saw once while searching but failed to bookmark the page.
    Even tapping links in Firefox History hasn't yet revealed the page.

    I want to Teather my home system tothis phone.
    A REAL keyboard would be nice.

    Hello Ed Vance!

    When I can find a BT device with a Jack for a CAT-5 plug
    on one end and a short antenna at the other end likeI saw
    once while searching but failed to bookmark the page. Even
    tapping links in Firefox History hasn't yet revealed the
    page.

    Cat-5 to BT? I really doubt that is what you saw. I can't
    find such a device.


    I want to Teather my home system tothis phone.

    Just use Wi-fi. And the instructions on how to do that with
    your specific model was posted too.


    A REAL keyboard would be nice.

    BT keyboard!
