- 310) Can I send mail to HK through Fidonet?
-
- Theologically users can send e-mails to Internet via any FidoNet
- BBS in HongKong, however, not all SysOps made this area available to their
- users and only a few systems has direct connections with the US
- Internet/ FidoNet Gateway. Select Usenet Newsgroups is also available
- in FidoNet but SysOps has to pick them up from the Usenet/FidoNet
- Gateway in the USA. Receiving e-mail from Internet to FidoNet in
- HongKong is no problem becasue all these traffic will be taken care by
- the Zone 6 ZoneGate - a ZoneGate system is a system in FidoNet who taken
- care of Inter-Zone e-mails from/to it's own Zone. (Note: Zone 6 is Asia
- in FidoNet).
