Other reasons include the mail handling programs which need to be rewritten to handle ANSI, extended ASCII, PGP and the like.

If I can take a second to push on of my little products, try taking a look at "PGPWAVE" available under the below origin under that FREQ magic name, also available on a guest account login to the board. It provides a nice mouseable Bwave colne-type environment for PGP interface with quite a few more odds and ends than PGPBlue, plus it is freeware meaning you don't pay a dime to use it, and there's no annoying tag that it adds (plus it has -quite- a few more features than PGPBlue). Give 'er a whirl, and you'll be surprised, and you'll swear you're still in BlueWave too ;) Btw, you won't have that problem in PGPWave :) I believe it's been hatched into a PGP filebone, but I have not been able to pick up this echo since then.

As Internet IH> access becomes increasingly available to the public, this is what the IH> public will use--they hardly know about Fidonet and the other hobbyist IH> networks, and probably care even less. And yet, as Internet access has grown, Fidonet membership has increased by leaps and bounds. Most BBS sysops can join Fidonet at absolutely no expense, and the majority of those who must spend money can spend just a little and manage it. During that entire period of time, the Internet has been just as useful as it is today. Realtime networking protocols like TCP/IP have their uses, and there's no doubt that the Internet is going to grow into something that will impact everyone's lives, most of them directly. However, mail-transfer protocols like Fidonet aren't going to go away because they meet a DIFFERENT set of needs. Hell, if Fidonet was that pointless, UUCP wouldn't have been invented either. They went to a lot of trouble to write a protocol that, in many ways, gives Internet systems capabilities similar to Fidonet. If Fidonet membership stops increasing it's rate of increase, you might have something; but I say, your 5 year projection is completely backwards. In 5 years, Fidonet will be at least 100,000 nodes strong. Feel free to archive this and whap me in the head with it in 2000 if I'm wrong. 201434369420143436942014343694201434369420143436942014343694718
