ac> 4. We prioritise documenting the required (non-optional) parts of a ac> compatible node, especially Internet nodes, as they are the obvious ac> majority of FidoNet in 2018.
As an aside, I'm curious when exactly Internet nodes took over as the majority of FidoNet.
If I had to guess it would be some time around 2005, but it's a complete guess.
From old nodelists it should be possible to pinpoint when it happened.
I suppose to be thorough, you'd want separate results of the number of dialup nodes versus both Internet-only and hybrid Internet/dialup nodes.
Someone might have done all of this already?
I only have nodelists going back to 2011. I'll try to hunt down some older ones. Suggestions welcome.
