I just got a message on the local (madison, wi) FIDO which was mailed
from a Unix* system LAST NOVEMBER! (In case you haven't checked lately,
this is February, and I still need to send out Christmas Thank-Yous!)
I should point out that when a
message gets to Bob's system, he ends up calling the destination FIDO.
This means that HE has to absorb the long distance phone call costs!

Keep an eye out for the uuslave postings here and in comp.*uucp*.  This
program would allow *ANY* Fido to become a MAIL gateway.
