DC> Okay, that makes sense to me. One thing that I have noticed lately in DC> Fido is "mobile" access to echos, with software such as Telegram and DC> Aftershock, which seems quite "trendy" to me. I'll withhold my opinion DC> of such for an appropriate forum.
I should of clarified... trendy as in, a Fido tech thing that benefits the internal workings of the network. Something that many Sysops worldwide accepted as solving a problem that was worth documenting as a standard.
Moving packets with a protocol like BinKD as opposed to dialup or the freaking mess that was TransX emails, FTP etc.... BinkD was tech that had a significant contribution to improving mail flow.
But Telegram.... mehhhhh... I dunno. I know some people like it but it comes across as being one persons pet project. One person's board goes down and the gating stops. Its not really a protocol, it comes across more as a gateway by one single person. There are many Sysops who don't really see that benefit.
