  • Need help, lots of it

    From ALAN BECK@1:123/140 to ALL on Sat Sep 22 16:22:50 2018
    Hi there, well I have been trying to figure Syncronet. I just love it,
    it is so cool.

    Here is my problem. I am trying to jam 30 years of fido experience into
    a week.

    Not gonna happen.

    Can someone help me out? Sort of take me under thier wing?

    A big part of this is concepts and nomanclature.

    It would really be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    You don't *have* to use FidoNet.

    Hehe it takes a little while to come back, but you may be surprised how quickly, if you have been a Fido sysop before.

    Do you have any specific questions? That would help us get started, pointing you in the right direction. :)
