There is a difference:
* In FIDO_SYSOP there was no proper rule handling this. It depended purely on mood swings and the size of today's black spots on the sun;
* In the case of the FTSC the rules are very well formulated and deal with the situation at hand
... plus ...
* In FIDO_SYSOP there was a lot of back-channel activity.
