    Hi, What are the differences in the following echos? FIDO_SYSOP FN_SYSOP Was one change to the other or are these both still valid echos? Thanks, Tom

    What are the differences in the following echos?


    FIDO_SYSOP

    This was orginayly a private echo. That is no longer the case but the history of this area goes way back.

    FN_SYSOP

    This is the original Fidonet Sysop echo. It was originally restricted to listed fidonet nodes. The history of this area also goes way back to the early 90's.

    Was one change to the other or are these both still valid echos?

    They are both still valid echoes.
