firstly, you might want to be aware that you posted this into the AMIGA message
area on fidonet instead of a local area which you might have been intending to post in...
your post is also carrying your handle or nickname... most fidonet echos require one's real name... either in the FROM field or as a signature... you might want to bring this up with the sysop of the system you posted from ;)
I used to be the sysop for the old school board RamNet (1:128/14)
and am interested in joining fidonet again (even in it's current
state, where there is only one phone number in the nodelist for net
128 and it doesn't answer with modem tones). I am not setup yet
(need to get a phone line and a computer with modem)
you don't have to have a modem to do fidonet these days... there are several ways of using telnet to be able to get to your system as well as connecting to other systems... depending on your OS, you might be able to use virtual modem or virtual fossil package for this task :)
having a modem and landline, whether real copper or VoIP is a GoodThing<tm>, though ;)
but I wanted to know if TJ is the same TJ from back in the early
90s.
