FidoNet

A worldwide hobbyist network of personal computers which

exchanges {e-mail}, discussion groups, and files. Founded in

1984 and originally consisting only of {IBM PC}s and

compatibles, FidoNet now includes such diverse machines as

{Apple II}s, {Atari}s, {Amiga}s, and {Unix} systems. Though

it is much younger than {Usenet}, FidoNet is already (in early

1991) a significant fraction of {Usenet}'s size at some 8000

systems.
