Fidonet is def. a thing. There is a New Zealand group- FSXnet - that I found when researching how to actually _join_ a Fidonet network. Docs for this from the pov of someone that has never done it are few. I.E. it seem very hard to find direction to join into Fidonet unless you are already there.
https://fsxnet.nz/fsxnet/join This was done because I am setting up a BBS on a Macintosh SE running System 6. There is a modern BBS being written today (in C) called SubText BBS that can connect up to Fidonet (I connected to FSX net after signing up and getting a node assignment.). It's cool to get the network messages from all over the globe on your local BBS. https://jcs.org/subtext My BBS is up: telnet to-> bbs.diller.org login as guest. It's running on a SE w/ 4MB ram. Setting this up and getting things going was a fun diversion and using a Mac SE for it was a blast as well. On Fidonet?
