PLEASE, before you get set to use a particular gateway into or out
of fidonet - CHECK THE MAPS.  There are about 25 registered gateways,
and more are coming online each month.

We are trying to set it up so there is a gateway that is local to each
net, so you don't have to call LD to Florida or Arizona or whereever to
get the mail through.  However, the default gateway for nets that don't
have gates is stjhmc.fidonet.org - please use that instead of muadib.

Scan for .fidonet.org in the UUCP maps, or send me mail (agora!nomad
or nomad@agora.hf.intel.com) and I'll send you the entire list of
authorized nodes and what nets they are authorized to gate for. (Note
that muadib.fidonet.org is not authorized to gate for any net other
than its own.)

Thank you
nomad (hostmaster, fidonet.org)
