    The official Fidonet tagname is WIFI (no dash).

    I *knew* that that the Telegram name could lead to confusion.
    That is why I thought it would be best to use the same name.

    I made a mistake on the Telegram side by renaming it WI-FI
    from Stas' reactivation as Wi-Fi.

    But thankfully, the name on the Telegram side can be anything
    we want. Telegram works by using a hidden groupID number
    instead.

    I will remove the dash on the Telegram side when I get a
    chance.

    But on the Fidonet side, the offical tagname is WIFI.

    Hmmmm. I thought that there were at least a handful of messages.
    There are 25 messages since Oct 21.
    I'm sure there is traffic. It's simply certain point systems I
    have aren't getting it.
    That's a sysop's prerogative to carry specific echos. Some
    systems automate the areafix requests to an uplink which
    forwards the link to someone that carries it, or not. :( In that
    case, a personal note to the sysop can usually get it done.

    Yeah, I'm familiar with the process. Just making sure it's not my error first.
