There are as I understand a few software packages that allow ST BBS 
software to interface with Fidonet. First that I know of is the PD BBS 
STarnet. It has been fido compatible since the outset. There is also a 
modified version of STarnet called STargate that allows FoReM ST to be 
fido compatible thru the doors area. The front end for all of these 
programs as I understand it is Binkley Term.

As an aside you mentioned that you heard it thru a net so you assumed it
was fido, I just wanted to let you all know that there is also FoReM Net
which to this point in time is much more popular in the ST world. There 
is approx 400 nodes in the network and the speed is pretty go. I can get
a message from me in Toronto to a BBS in luxembourg (sp?) in about 48 
hours (faster if all the connections click just right). Give a FoReM BBS
a try and see what it is all about.
