    Not that I know of.

    any info will be great

    Every network needs a unique zone. fsxNet uses zone 21, Fidonet uses
    zones 1-4, and othernets have their own zone.

    If you want to start a network you'll need to find a zone number not
    currently in use. There's more to it than that, but you'll need at least
    that for a start.

    Ttyl :-),

    Very true, Al... If you do want to start a new network, you might want to
    look at this document;

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17pmf7cS9ocU99Rm6qlJD_OncqmbDI5Qj8Yw99A5 bgVc/edit?pli=1#gid=0

    This is a great doc that Bryan aka NuSkooler set up, and I have been going through "prettifying" it when I can.

    it would grow way bigger than they did back in the dial up days

    not really, all fido technology networks combined have less users (sysops / nodes / points / bbs users) and less message traffic than a single small web forum or facebook / whatsapp / telegram group etc.

    software is too shitty and setup too complicated to attract much more people. don't get me wrong, i like fidonet technology, but it is a niche for a few nerds (mostly males).

    doing everything over internet instead of dial-up has advantages especially for
    small networks though. we don't have to think about costs and regional routing anymore.

    i would not recommend starting a network on mystic bbs. the ftn part is full of
    critical bugs. wait until they get fixed or use some better alternative software.

    thanks i remember back when i started familynet over the dialup with renegade
    was only 4 other boards with it was a pain in the butt to setup back then
    but with constant users calling there was delays in getting messages out to
    the other boards i may look into it a bit later after i get board setup how i want it
