- No, FidoNet is more of a hobbyist network with normal BBSes in it, rather than
- universities etc. as in InterNet.

- To send mail to the sysop there send mail to
- Sysop@f622.n600.z2.fidonet.org
-
- Or, even better, as I'm in FidoNet I can find out the sysop's name which happens
- to be Tan Ee Chong. So you would send to
- Tan.Ee.Chong@f622.n600.z2.fidonet.org
-
- You can also contact users of that BBS by replacing the login.id for theirs...
-
- Hope this helps!
