   One caveat with the fido nodelist.  Some of the boards listed
are boards that are up for certain hours only.  
   When my board was time-shared with our business lines at work
and PC Pursuit got ahold of our list and passed it out to it's
customers, all hell broke loose on our operator at the station.
Beware!  Time conditions are ussually listed at the end of the
entry for the node.  
   Also, because of the PC Pursuit bit, and my yelling and
screaming to IFNA and PC Pursuit, IFNA will take a dim view of
the nodelist being repackaged.  You may want to contact them.
You can write them at:
