• Current Fidonet Structure

    From Tom Moore@1:135/205 to All on Sat Jan 24 21:50:38 2026
    Hi,
    How does the current Fidonet structure work based on two main points in today's world?
    1. Does Fidonet largely retain the original structure where bbs's in a
    certain state connect to a hub in the same state?
    In my case FL there seems to be a large bbs structure so there is a hub
    here.
    When it comes to message routingdoes the FL hub connect to the national
    / zone hub?

    2. Based on the internet not having toll charges anymore and Fidonet not
    being as large as it use to be have we moved to who ever can do / wants
    to do certain jobs handle routing functions?
    The Fidonet documents have not been updated in over 30 years so I'm not exactly sure what is the same / different based on the current
    conditions on the ground.

    Thanks,
    Tom
