  Dear Gary,
     I actually receive comp.lang.forth through FIGI-L, so I do not need to
 use FidoNet, but the other members of FIG do not have access to UUCP, BITNET,
 etc. This is why I am exploring the possibilities of FidoNet, as accessing to
 a BBS is very easy. There is at least one BBS at most cities in Spain, and I
 try to see if the other members will have access to email, which, you know, 
 is really interesting.

     This is a list of the spanish members with email:

     Inigo Losada: los_ini_t@euskom.spritel.es 
                   inigo.losada@f3.n344.z2.fidonet.ORG
     Roberto Deza: RDA@CPD.UNAV.es
     Jesus Consuegra: jesusc@nexus.nsi.es
     Juanma Barranquero: barran@nexus.nsi.es

     There is another member who has just bought a modem, and is trying to
 login in some BBSs, but he is having some problems.

     Regards,

     Borja Marcos

 Dear Borja,
   Thank you for the update. Since you have access to Usenet you already
   know our exchanges are being made public on ForthNet and comp.lang.forth.
   I think it important for your efforts in Spain to be recognized and
   encouraged. It is also important for others to realize this opportunity
   is because we have access to advanced communications.
   I hope your good example will encourage others to make the effort to 
   realize global connectivity with other Forth users.
   Your associates may be further encouraged to know we are in the process
   of placing FNEAS (ForthNet Email Archive Server) on line to provide Forth
   files for all systems. Eventually it will echo much of the file base now
   available on GEnie, but not accessible to distant contacts like you.

   Regards, 

   Gary Smith
