Message-ID: <162@petruz.sublink.ORG> Date: 26 Mar 91 14:09:07 GMT Organization: Pietro Caselli, Bologna , Italy Lines: 11 [OMISSIS, being uninmportant] -- Pietro Caselli | internet: zaphod@petruz.sublink.org | IF YOU MEET THE BUDDHA Fidonet : 2:332/401.10 | ON THE ROAD,KILL HIM. Mail : V. Pietro Mattiolo, 4 | 40139 Bologna ITALY | ====================================================== Please look at the "From:" line, and at the internet address at the end of the message. This is the first time that I see such an address coming from Italy. Moreover it is the first time I see FIDONET given as an Italian address. I tried to contact the sender of the above article, but for the moment I was unsuccessful. Since I am going back in Italy in a few months, and since in the University where I work we do not receive USENET (believe it or not, USENET is not popular in Italian academic institutions), can someone explain to me: 1) what is the network sublink.ORG ? 2) how can I connect to such a network, being in Italy? 3) what is FIDONET? 4) which is the relationship between INTERNET and FIDONET? I will welcome any information on such subjects. Thank you Paolo Ciancarini, PhD Visiting Scientist Yale University
