FidoNews 7-06 Page 1 5 Feb 1990 ================================================================= EDITORIAL ================================================================= As I write this, the white stuff outside my door is getting deeper and deeper. Perhaps I'll get to stay home from work tomorrow and play with my computer. That would be nice. In a few months, we're going to reach the fifth anniversary of FidoNet's switch to Multinet. Maybe there aren't enough old geezers out there who appreciate that fact, but this one thinks we should do something to observe that occurrence. It will be a nice dry run for next year's fifth anniversary of Echomail... One of the criticisms I have heard of FidoNews is the difficulty of locating the articles and their authors' names. This is (yes, I know you hear this all the time) not entirely my fault. ARTSPEC.DOC is pretty clear on a suggested style, and articles using this style will have the information presented in a consistent location in the story, and will most likely be properly indexed in the Table of Contents. Many weeks I find myself fixing up stories to conform to this, but if I don't have the time, it just doesn't happen. Last week's banner page was so long that very few items fit into the Table of Contents. Since there were so many interesting articles last week, that's unfortunate. I have shortened the banner page somewhat. I'm going to work on it some more between this week and next, hopefully resulting in a basic presentation that will last a while. We now have the route-through arrangement with Harry's system complete. He tells me that a few file requests for ARTSPEC.DOC came up empty this week, though. We've now fixed that. At this point, I believe that we have 1:1/1 completely working at Harry's site. We're sorry for any inconvenience our fumbling and bumbling might have caused you in the interim. That's it until next week. Happy Trails. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FidoNews 7-06 Page 2 5 Feb 1990 ================================================================= ARTICLES ================================================================= Fabian Kiendl Fidonet 2:507/8 A 300 bps modem tells about its past My career began under the christmas-tree, when a 12-year-old pupil living in New York got me as a present. He had never expected to get me (some people fear a 120% increase of their phone bill), so his joy was enormous, and he wanted to start the "maiden-voyage" immediately. But there was the first hurdle: all the New York numbers were busy - many pu- pils seemed to have gotten a modem as a christmas present. Luckily the resources of numbers were not exhausted: there still was the number of a very good multi-user BBS in San Francisco. That wasn't a local call at all, and I wondered what the parents of my new owner would say about the phone bill. But at least that number wasn't busy - Pacific Time is 3 hours different from New York Time, and therefore there surely wasn't distribution of presents yet. The first ses- sion with me could start. A very simple communications pro- gram had to be enough, but it was certainly better than no- thing. The session lasted about 30 minutes, when the father of my new owner asked: "Where are you connected to? I need the phone for ordering a table in the restaurant." When he heard the true answer - "San Francisco" - his face went white, as he expected his statement of account to get red numbers (for minus). That was no wonder , because the phone bill had been increased by at least 80%. I had a long break now. It was a "bad-cluster-life" for me to lie in the cupboard unused. The father called me a "100-$-note-eater", and every time the son asked for the permission to use me again the answer was "No". He seemed not to bear the high bill I had caused with the long-distance call to San Francisco. Af- ter three weeks (when the holidays were over and school ate up most of my owner's time) I was used again. The father had caused more telephone charge than I with the long-dis- tance call by asking everybody who had something to do with computers in any way for local BBS numbers that weren't busy and not too expensive to call. And - he had success. Now I wasn't a "100-$-note-eater" any more, as the local calls were free of charge. My owner could make long sessions with- out having to get pangs of conscience. I didn't have to lie in the cupboard again. One of the local numbers was the "favorite": the number of a BBS which had a direct conference with one in Sydney, Au- stralia. The messages were transported at night (the oversea charge was lower then) and arrived at the destination more quickly than a letter. One thing was not so good: the sysop had to charge a little price for the usage of the confe- FidoNews 7-06 Page 3 5 Feb 1990 rence. That was easy to understand, oversea charge was not cheap at all, and he had to pay very much for that hobby. But that price was not so high as the first increased phone bill. Luckily, because the first one wasn't paid off yet. It had made a really big hole in the purse. When access to file areas was opened, my owner began to no- tice that 300 bps aren't very fast. Programs got bigger and bigger, and the transmission time made that the father of my owner was an extremely hard-to-reach person. The line was always busy, callers had only a chance when my owner was at school or doing homeworks. I feared a new "cupboard period". That nightmare didn't become true, but the busy line prohi- bited my owner to wish a faster modem. If those long calls had been long distance or oversea calls - imagine what an astronomical phone bill would have been caused! The highest point of my career began when my owner discove- red a BBS which was connected to several hundred others in the USA. He could write messages to San Francisco, Los Ange- les, Anchorage or Nome now without breaking the telephone charge world record. And his private mail was full of re- plies every day. Unfortunately, the 300 bps prevented him to read ALL the messages in the message boards. So the call for a faster modem got louder and louder. But it wasn't heard for a long time. I think it was the first bill which had caused that. What a pity - 300 bps became less actual from day to day, and long-distance calls were impossible be- cause of the long time needed for transmission... Then, after a few months, when my owner broke his money-box in order to buy a faster modem and open the door to long- distance and oversea calls, my hour rang. My owner celebra- ted the "maiden-voyage" with his new, faster modem, and I was no longer used. But I had a "memorial" - the first bill, and I could be sure that I had served loyally in my time. And then, when I was put into the corner, I made a few questions: What a phone bill will the new modem cause? Will the new modem remain actual for a longer time than I? Will my owner remember me, or will I simply no longer exist for him? I only found out the answer for the first question: The bill caused by the new modem got the 3rd dimension - exponents had to be used, otherwise the field "Amount to pay" had been to small. But I don't know what the father said about that bill. I only know that it had been caused by a few oversea calls. ------------------------------------------------------------ I hope that I haven't made too many mistakes (I have used a spell checker), and that you have enjoyed this little story.

On the Future Dissolution of the International FidoNet Association WHEREAS: At the Board of Directors Meeting concluded on 27 Aug 1989 a Resolution was passed to hold a Referendum of FidoNet to determine if the International FidoNet Association, Inc. should continue to exist, and WHEREAS: In the Referendum of FidoNet concluded on 1 Dec 1989 fewer than one half of the sysops of FidoNet desired that the Association officially represent them, and WHEREAS: The Board of Directors established the rule for the election that upon failure of this Referendum the Board of Directors would initiate dissolution of the Association, and WHEREAS: Missouri statute requires receiving at least two thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by members present at a membership meeting in order to dissolve a corporation therefore be it RESOLVED: That the Board of Directors recommends to the membership that the Association be dissolved. RESOLVED: That the question of dissolution be submitted to the membership for a vote at the next Annual Membership Meeting, or, prior to that meeting, by consent of the membership pursuant to Missouri statute 355.460. RESOLVED: That the Association take no action that is not required by statute, Articles of Association, or Bylaws until such time as the vote to dissolve is completed.

RESOLVED: That the next Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Association shall be at the Annual Meeting of our membership after the vote is concluded, and that all motions now before the Board regarding the disposal of assets be tabled until that time. ============================================================== Secretary's Report: Please find enclosed the content of the letter sent to the Secretary of this Corporation by Tom Jennings. 1. This letter is to inform IFNA that I am terminating our Trademark License Agreement that allows IFNA the use of my trademarks, commencing 28 February 1990. 2. The vote by the network members this past 1 December 1989 clearly indicates that IFNA does not represent the wishes and needs of the Fido Net network at large, and therefore myself. Elections and Nominations Report Please consider my article in the January 1, 1990 edition of FidoNews (FNEWS701.ARC) to be the Final Report from the Elections and Nominations Committee. I have no recommendations on conclusion of ongoing business, as I do not consider that there is any ongoing business of this committee. The election is concluded, and it would appear that there need be no nominations for any future posts. Thus, the work of this committee is done.

If you don't like 'em, tough. Those wishing to express differing opinions are invited to jump off a cliff. ;-) I suppose I should explain a little about the title of this column. Ever since my CB days back in high-school, my handle has been "The Captain". When I put up my first bbs, a Networks ][ that ran on my Apple ][ plus, back on July 1st, 1980, my handle was "The Captain" never "Sysop" (hence the name of my board, The Starship, now the Starship ][, since converting to an IBM PC). Unlike most other 'starship' boards, however, I never called my system "The Enterprise", nor did I ever fashion myself as "Captain Kirk". I wanted my own identity. So, I called my 'ship' the Potemkin ("P" for Phil), which has been the answer to a trivia question ever since ("So, what's the name of your StarShip?"). That over, on with the REAL column! A few issues ago, I wrote an article warning folks about incompatibilities between the new Front Door 1.99b and the SEAdog mailer. The author had removed support for BARK style requests, which SEAdog generates, and the SEAlink protocol, which SEAdog supports. This, and a bug in the new FTS-0001 implementation, led to a failure for the two mailers to send files to each other (one of the basic definitions for being "FidoNet compatible" going back to distribution of the nodelist in the original Fido Network). I warned of the incompatibility and demonstrated some ways to keep your mailer (whichever one you run) from running up your phone bill. Since then, the Front Door author has announced his intention to release a new version that WILL talk to SEAdogs, although it still won't support BARK requests or the SEAlink protocol, which means that while you WILL be able to get those files across, it'll only be at about 35% efficiency at 9600 baud. The author has also returned the money of those Front Door users who've asked for it. I think he's to be commended for showing good business sense in offering refunds. There are lots of FD users who still have to communicate with SEAdog users, and will find it very inconvenient to run the new Front Door. So, if you're one of those FD users that are dissatisfied with the lack of BARK request of SEAlink support, and would like a refund, contact Joaquim Homrighausen at 1:135/20. It's to his credit that he's willing to return your money if you don't like his product. Too many businesses wouldn't do that these days.
