Hi there.

This note if to let you know that the NET 4 fsxNet HUB is shifting to a new
host at the end of this month. Many thanks to Dan Richter for hosting and 
being NET 4 HUB admin for many years. It's been very much appreciated.

As a NET 4 node please ensure you use the following domain name and port
set when you poll the NET 4 HUB (21:4/100) net4.fsxnet.nz:24560

On 31 March (New Zealand time) I will be updating the DNS records to point
to a new IP address for the new system hosting the NET 4 HUB. Your BinkD,
Areafix, Filefix passwords etc. will remain unchanged and should
work as they currently do.

After the change over has occurred the old HUB will be shutdown. If you 
have any questions please feel free to email me avon@bbs.nz

Did you know sometimes Avon sticks random musings into history.txt? Just how
and why this first began is a mystery. Some say it was due to a late night
attack of the munchies and whilst pondering jumping in the car to go get
some hot chips he decided he'd wait first for 5 mins to see if he was really
keen... and while killing time, he opted to pen this amazing update after
doing some BBSing and fsxNet admin. Not sure if this should stay in the
history.txt file... but it's true the guy was hungry at the time of writing
this ;-p

Updated Node 2/148 Marty advises his system can now be reached at shsbbs.net 
                 The nodelist and systems.txt has been updated accordingly.

Updated Node 1/10 The fsxNet Games + Usenet HUB now has it's own dedicated
                 IPv6 address which is 2407:8b00:1169:900::200 this is now
                 associated with the domain zen.fsxnet.nz and the nodelist
                 has been updated accordingly. The system accepts calls on
                 port 24557

There have been further DNS changes to IPv6 records for fsxnet.nz NET 1
domains as well as gency.bbs.nz the updated records are as follows:

2407:8b00:1169:900::100 - net1.fsxnet.nz and agency.bbs.nz
2407:8b00:1169:900::200 - zen.fsxnet.nz (used by 21:1/10 on port 24557)
2407:8b00:1169:900::300 - news.bbs.nz (ports 119 and 563)

These are static IPv6 records and are not expected to change again anytime
soon. The IPv6 connections are now native and no longer use a he.net 
tunnel.

The static IPv4 address remains the same for all of the above domain names
and is 103.193.138.76

The ISP used by the NET 1 server has changed and with it have the IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses presently used. DNS records for net1.fsxnet.nz and 
agency.bbs.nz have been updated. 

The IPv4 address is not likely to change again anytime soon (he says fingers
crossed) however the IPv6 address may yet again change if we move from a 
He.Net tunnel to native IPv6 connection.

Please ensure the following IP addresses are not blocked by your BBS if you
are connecting to the 21:1/100 NET 1 HUB. i.e, if you can white list these
IP's please :)

IPv4 - 103.193.138.76
IPv6 - 2001:470:d:3a4::100

Updated Node 1/107 The ByteXchange BBS has been marked as 'Down' in the 
                nodelist.

Updated Node 1/167 CyberBBS WHQ BBS the domain name has been updated to 
                 whq.cyberbbs.dev

Updated Node 1/105 Fluph BBS the domain name on file fails to resolve but
                 the IP address 47.223.172.117 does work. The nodelist has
                 been updated to reflect this.

Added a new item in fsxnet.txt in 'Housekeeping' this is to address how
nodes being de-listed from the network are managed. As a general rule of
thumb if your BBS/system has packets/files held for it at your assigned HUB
longer than 45+ days then it will be up for being de-listed. There's also
some guidance about how to 'gracefully' depart the network.

The text added is as follows:

Members will be de-listed from the network if their BBS/system has 
packets/files held for it at their assigned fsxNet HUB for 45+ days. 
A HUB admin may extend this grace period at their discretion. If you are
having technical issues please contact your HUB admin and/or the Network 
Coordinator so they are aware of your issues.

If you decide to leave fsxNet please de-link your BBS/system from all echomail
and file areas before you depart. This ensures packets/files are not being
held at the HUB for your system needlessly. Please also contact your HUB
admin and let them know you are leaving. This allows our admin team to
remove you from their HUB config, the fsxNet nodelist and systems.txt

Echomail Areas Closing - Reminder #2
====================================

A reminder that the following echomail areas are to be retired and will close
down effective 10 May 2023

FSX_ESP              Espanol General Chat
FSX_DIY              D.I.Y Chat, Tips + Tricks
FSX_FOOD             Food + Cooking Chat
FSX_GARDENING        Gardening Chat
FSX_ARTS             Arts + Artistic Chat 
FSX_TRANSPORT        Transportation Chat (All Modes)
FSX_SPORTS           Sports Chat

In their place a new echomail area FSX_LFE has been created. It has a 
'Lifestyle' focus and acts as a catch-all for topics including Gardening, DIY,
Art, Food, Travel, Transport, Sports etc.

I encourage  sysops to delink and remove from their BBS the echomail
areas that are closing in advance of 10 May 2023. By that date 
all remaining nodes still connected to the retiring echomail areas will be
manually delinked from them by your HUB admin.

2023-04-30
It has been almost two years since new echomail areas were added to fsxNet.
Here are the details from history.txt posted back on 25 May 2021.

[snip]

2021-05-25
Added several new echomail areas to fsxNet today!

FSX_GARDENING        Gardening Chat
FSX_ARTS             Arts + Artistic Chat 

[snip]

Echomail Areas Closing
======================

Today I am announcing changes to the echomail areas carried on fsxNet.

To start with we will consolidate down several echomail areas created
in 2021 into one new echomail area. 

The following echomail areas are to be retired and will close down
effective 10 May 2023

FSX_ESP              Espanol General Chat
FSX_DIY              D.I.Y Chat, Tips + Tricks
FSX_FOOD             Food + Cooking Chat
FSX_GARDENING        Gardening Chat
FSX_ARTS             Arts + Artistic Chat 
FSX_TRANSPORT        Transportation Chat (All Modes)
FSX_SPORTS           Sports Chat

Introducing FSX_LFE 
===================

In their place a new echomail area FSX_LFE has been created. It has a 
'Lifestyle' focus and acts as a catch-all for topics including Gardening, DIY,
Art, Food, Travel, Transport, Sports etc.

From fsxnet.txt

[snip]

FSX_LFE   Lifestyle - There's lots of ways to enjoy life! This echo covers
          many different lifestyle topics including (but not limited to) 
          Gardening, DIY, Art, Food, Travel, Transport, Sports, Pets,
          Health & Fitness etc. Dive in, lets chat :)

[snip]

Getting Ready For This Change
=============================

From today I will start to remove the retiring echomail areas from fsxnet.na
and other online listings that detail echomail areas in fsxNet. I will also
post announcements in all affected echomail areas signalling their pending
closure and the new FSX_LFE 'Lifestyle' echo.

Also, from today, new nodes joining fsxNet will not be offered a feed of
the echomail areas soon to close.

I encourage fsxNet sysops to delink and remove from their BBS the echomail
areas that are closing in advance of 10 May 2023. By that date 
all remaining nodes still connected to the retiring echomail areas will be
manually delinked from them by your HUB admin.

If you opt to retain the retired echomail areas on your BBS for posterity
after 10 May 2023 that is your call, but please ensure they are set as
'read only' for your users. 

I also encourage current fsxNet sysops to look for and subscribe to the new
FSX_LFE echomail area which has now been added to the fsxnet.na file and 
created at your fsxNet HUB :)

New Echomail Areas Coming
=========================

Yes, further echomail areas are planned to be added. I will be in touch by
separate post with some details in the coming weeks. More to follow :)

This message has been x-posted to FSX_GEN and FSX_NET please post any
further discussion on this topic in FSX_NET

2022-10-14
Added history.txt and systems.txt files to fsxnet.nz as dedicated pages on
the website. These pages are updated each time a new infopack is hatched out
to nodes. This should mean at least weekly updates to the site with this
content.

2022-10-09
Removed references to wiki.fsxnet.nz in infopack etc. as steps begin to
shutter this wiki and migrate content to fsxnet.nz as time permits.

2022-10-08
Changes to fsxnet.nz today. The old static website has been retired and 
replaced with a site powered by wiki software. The plan is to leverage the 
ease of adding content via wiki to extend the website. 

The current (dated) fsxNet wiki at wiki.fsxnet.nz will (in time) be retired
with any still usable content migrated across to fsxnet.nz

Your thoughts/feedback on the new website, useful additions etc. are welcome.
Please share them in FSX_NET or email avon@bbs.nz

2021-02-20
We've made a change to the name of the file being hatched out each week that
contains the infopack. Previously it was called fsxinfo.zip and was hatched
out to the file area FSX_INFO with a command to 'replace' the old file with
the new one of the same name.

The file name has changed to fsxnet.zip .. all other behaviours remain the 
same with it too being sent to the FSX_INFO file base, and the same weekly
'replace' command being used to swap out old version with new.

** Please manually delete your old fsxinfo.zip from your FSX_INFO file base
as it will not be updated anymore **

Minor change to the nodelist. The country code for Germany that was being 
used in the nodelist has been changed from GER to DEU. This keeps things
consistent with the ISO 3166-1 Alpha-3 codes we're using across the nodelist.

2020-10-29

                 second BBS. It is listed as a private node for now, as it

Thanks to everyone who has started to adjust their roBOT posts in FSX_BOT to 
point to the newly created echomail areas for BOTs. A reminder to areafix
these new echos so your HUB starts to feed you them or contact your HUB 
admin to get them manually added for you :)               
                 

2020-10-26
Created FSX_TST  Test messages and other experimentation is welcome here! 
                 Messages using the subject of 'Test' *should* receive an
                 automated response from a roBOT. Humans can also appear 
                 magically with reports too. Your mileage may vary. Offer
                 is not available at Vanda Station.
                 
Created FSX_ADS  BBS and NETwork Ads. Run a BBS you want to tell the world
                 about? Use a roBOT or manually post your BBS ASCII / ANSI
                 ads here. Please don't post the same thing more than once a
                 week (7 days). Let's keep it 'minty fresh' - too much of the
                 same thing usually ends in a diet :)                   

Created FSX_STA  Echomail + Network Stats. The echoarea for roBOT posts 
                 about echomail area stats, BBS mailer traffic and gateway
                 activity. FTN network stats / reports are also posted here.
                 Some people read them cover to cover while others like
                 horoscopes better :)
                 
Created FSX_FIL  File Announcements. I like files, you like files, we all
                 like files! This echoarea contains roBOT posts covering files
                 received by fsxNet member BBS or files hatched from fsxNet
                 HUBS to the wider community.

With the creation of the new echoareas there have been some tweaks to the
descriptions and usage of existing echomail areas. Please note the following
updated info for these echos:

FSX_BOT - We welcome non-human roBOT output here. Gated or original content
          (e.g. weather, telemetry, entertainment etc.) lives here. BBS ads
          (FSX_ADS) , echomail stats (FSX_STA) or file announcements (FSX_FIL)
          live elsewhere.

FSX_GEN - A general discussion echoarea covering many topics.

                 at battlestar3.dyndns.org:2400
                 
Re-created a new echomail area:
          
FSX_ESP - Español General Chat. This echoarea offers a place for Spanish
          language conversations. Like FSX_GEN it is a general discussion
          echoarea covering many topics. Test messages and other
          experimentation is welcome.
          
          Este echoarea ofrece un lugar para conversaciones en español.
          Al igual que FSX_GEN, es una discusión general que abarca muchos
          temas. Mensajes de prueba y otros experimentos son bienvenidos.
          
Sub domain aliases have been created for NET 1-5 using the fsxnet.nz domain
name. This means you can now use the following to poll each HUB if you wish:

net1.fsxnet.nz - NET 1 (21:1/100)
net2.fsxnet.nz - NET 2 (21:2/100)
net3.fsxnet.nz - NET 3 (21:3/100)
net4.fsxnet.nz - NET 4 (21:4/100)
net5.fsxnet.nz - NET 5 (21:5/100)

Prior domain names associated with each HUB will still work but it's hoped
this may make things easier for folks setting up their BBS wanting to quickly
enter domain name address details for any given fsxNet HUB. FSXNET.TXT has
been updated accordingly.

Firstly apologies for the delay in getting some updates to this page. I had
been chasing a job opportunity for some weeks and that took precedence. 
Didn't get the job (bummer) but now have time to do some BBSing stuff when 
the mood takes me (yay) so here we are :)

Look for additions and removals over the coming weeks as we work to tidy up
the nodelist and process some overdue additions etc.

Removed Node 3/104 Brain Storm BBS (BRA) is inactive and has been delisted.

2019-12-25       Merry Christmas :)

                 Thanks for being part of fsxNet and keeping the BBS scene
                 alive and active. It's been great to see how popular BBSing
                 and echomail message networking remains in 2019. Here's to a
                 fun, simple and experimental 2020.

                 Look for a few nodes to be pruned in the coming weeks as some
                 sysops setup and then disappear failing to let HUB admins know
                 they are shutting down. This seems to be part and parcel of how
                 things can roll... but it's a PITA to keep the nodelist up to
                 date. :(

Updated 1/100    The NET 1 HUB has (for now) moved to a combo of BinkD for

                 packets are being processed and/or sent. This change is a 
                 precaution until the author (g00r00) can have a look at the
                 code.

The following echomail areas have been retired and any BBS linked to
these echos have been delinked at their respective fsxNet HUBs. 
You may wish to remove these message bases from your BBS.

FSX_PKT - Packet Radio (AX.25 Gateway). This was a read-only echo fed by a 
          gateway operated by LU9DCE. His system has closed down and the 
          echo has been shuttered.
          
FSX_ESP - Español General Chat. This echoarea was for Spanish language
          conversations. It was largely spun up to help nodes setting up
          in NET 5 (ARG) but did not come to much. Now NET 5 has closed
          with LU9DCE closing down this echo has been shuttered for now.

                 echomail areas will be shuttered in the coming days. An 
                 announcement about those message areas will follow in the

Updated Node 1/100 Because it really needed a name so now it's called the
                   Risa HUB. The other HUBs have names and NET1 was feeling
                   like the leftout poor cousin. :)
                   
                   #FUNFACT follows: a “pleasure planet” from the United
                   Federation of Planets, of which it is a member. Crew 
                   members from the “Next Generation,” “Deep Space Nine”
                   and “Enterprise” series all paid visits there. The
                   planet is said to orbit a binary, or double, star 
                   system—in Star Trek fan lore, Epsilon Ceti, a real 
                   star system some 79 light-years from Earth.

Updated - HUB 4  Most nodes that connect to The Niba HUB in NET 4 (now hosted
                 by Dan Richter) have migrated to the new domain name address
                 and port - bbs.castlerockbbs.com:24560
                 That said we're now down to three nodes that so far have not
                 switched or responded to attempts to contact them. We will
                 try again to reach them but their time in the network is

                 InterBBS Oneliner or Double-Up (both by Darryl Perry) to
                 send inter-BBS data between nodes in fsxNet. In most cases
                 the data is not readable or of interest to human eyes.
                 Sysops may wish to hide this echo from BBS users.

Mystic BBS turns 20 years young!

I just wanted to note the efforts of author James Coyle aka g00r00 who today
posted in fsx_mys his thanks for everyones interest and involvement in his
Mystic BBS project that has been running for the last 20 years. Think on 
that for a moment - 20 years!

It's no mean feat to sustain an interest in something for so long and 
continue to develop it with the same levels of passion and excitement that
first spurred the interest to do so all those years ago.

For me coming back in to the BBSing scene around 2013 and coming across Mystic
was a welcome sign to me that the scene was not dead and that there was much
fun to be had with the old hobby/interest that I had last dabbled in in
back in 1994.

In 2017 there are a number of BBS platforms under active development. We're
lucky to have a bunch of talented people active in fsxNet who continue to
contribute their skills and passions to the vibrancy of the BBS scene
by creating new BBS software, doors, utils, ANSI art etc. 

James is certainly one of those people. On behalf of all of the users,
sysops, tinkerers, wannabe coders, debuggers who love to test and find 
stuff that may be broken (or not :)) and everyone in between playing in the

Updates to HUBs 1/100 2/100 3/100

Today I have been working on updating the software on all fsxNet HUBS active
at present. They are now all in sync and use the same version of Mystic BBS.
Which at the time of writing this is 1.12 A37 pre-alpa version 2017/12/13

At the same time of doing these updates I have changed the way netmail is 
routed between the HUBs. In short the rules to deliver netmail between NETs
has been updated to prevent a circular loop occurring where undeliverable 
netmail could end up bouncing between various NETs. I have also established
direct links between NET 2 and NET 3 to speed up delivery of netmail where as
before this, all netmail between NET 2 and NET 3 was routed via NET 1

I am now also starting to look at establishing a NET 4 to accommodate ongoing
growth experienced with new nodes joining fsxNet. The thinking being not
wanting to have HUB with large numbers of nodes (70+) attached and instead 
add more HUBs serving smaller numbers (30-40) of nodes. If we do opt to fully 
mesh all the HUBs for echomail traffic, whilst it would generate a fair 
amount of DUPE traffic between the HUBs it would also help to build greater
redundancy and resilience across the wider fsxNet. Well that's what I think 
would happen - but you're feedback and thoughts are most welcome :)   

Welcome new nodes :)

fsxNet Nodelist Housekeeping (continued)

More twists and turns in this episode of 'know your ever changing
nodelist' :)

Added Node 1/136   force9 BBS (GBR) Dave has contacted me. He is away on 
                   holiday but plans to look in to any issues with his BBS 
                   when he gets back. He confirms he does not want to be 
                   deleted. So I have re-instated his node number.
                   Hopefully we can get packets flowing again in the coming
                   weeks. Look for his test posts :)
 
Added Node 1/180   Logon BBS (GER) Oliver has also been in touch and is 
                   working on getting his Raspberry Pi back up and running 
                   again. He has some Internet issues by the sounds of it but
                   is working on things over the coming weeks. Also look for
                   his test messages when he's back up :)
                   I have reinstated his node number.                   
                   
Removed Node 1/168 The Egregore BBS (USA) Luke and I have been chatting via
                   email. He did get in touch amd planned to re-setup his 
                   VM of the BBS. I followed up a few days later and he's
                   advised he can't find his VM! So for now he's asked to be
                   removed. I have delisted his node number.

fsxNet Nodelist Housekeeping

I have begun to prune the nodelist after waiting a week to gauge replies and
responses to my attempts to contact nodes flagged for attention on Sept 2nd.

Some systems have contacted me and I am working with them to try and sorts
any issues. Others have been silent so they are being pruned from the 
nodelist for now. 

They are (as always) welcome to re-apply and rejoin but I am not going to
store traffic at 21:1/100 for a node that may reappear or may not.


Removed Node 1/167 SilentShard BBS (NZL) Nick has contacted me and confirmed 
                   his system is down for now. He may reapply again in the
                   future when he has more time to run a system.
                   
Removed Node 1/136 force9 BBS (GBR) No reply from Dave to hailing freqs so
                   have removed his system from the nodelist. Attempts to
                   telnet to last known address have also failed. :(
                   
Removed Node 1/155 Gerlach BBS (SVK) Dominik advises he's time poor and
                   unable to maintain his system and has asked to be

                   Shannon despite best attempts to reach him. So his 
                   system is being removed from the nodelist.

Removed Node 1/144 Aloryn Avalon BBS (USA) there has been no contact with 
                   Joshua despite best attempts to reach him. His system
                   has been removed from the nodelist.

Removed Node 1/150 Southend BBS (Denmark) I have not heard from Lars in 
                   sometime. The last contact was months ago and at that 
                   stage there was talk of a hospital visit. I hope he is
                   well. I have tried to contact him and poll his system
                   but have struck out on both counts. His node has been
                   delisted.

Removed Node 1/164 Beyond Systems BBS (SWE) there has been no reply from
                   attempts to contact Mattias and no connections via

                   been delisted.

                   to contact Kevin and there is no reply from his BBS when

                   is down and no longer contactable. Node has been delisted.
                   

Removed Node 1/183 Night Owl BBS (USA) attempts to reach Jon have not proved
                   to be successful and there is no reply from his BBS at the
                   last known ddns.net domain name. Node has been delisted.

There are still some nodes I am chasing up to confirm if they are going to
reconnect to fsxNet or if the sysop is not going to do anything soon to do so.
Some may still be removed if a firm track of proposed activity is not
demonstrated in a timely fashion.

I am also working to identify a few nodes that I know are running and polling
1/100 correctly but for some reason(s) their known domain names are not 
resolving and allow the HUB to poll them. I'll write about that in a separate
update when this round of NET 1 nodelist admin concludes.

fsxNet Nodelist Housekeeping

The following NET 1 systems have been flagged for potential deletion due to
inactivity for some time (weeks or in some cases months!) I have attempted
to contact each sysop and hope to hear back from them within the next seven
(7) days else they risk removal from the nodelist. 

For now the following systems have been marked as 'Down' in the nodelist:

21:1/ 135, 136, 139, 140, 142, 144, 150, 155, 164, 167, 168, 171, 177, 180,
      183, 190, 197

A further review of the above nodes will occur one week from today.

fsxNet Nodelist Housekeeping

Over the coming weeks I will be doing some work on the nodelist. I want to 
ensure it's still current and accurate. Whilst I believe this to be the case
(for the most part) I am fairly confident we have a few dead nodes that need
to be marked as 'Down' and the removed if no longer active or responding to
attempts to contact the sysop. I'll keep you posted on this housekeeping as
I progress it. Of course if your system is active and polling a HUB then you
really have nothing to worry about :)

Removed Node 1/116 Delta City BBS (SWE). Joacim has advised his hardware has
                   failed and he no longer has the time or energy to fix it.
                   He's requested to be removed from the nodelist.
                   
Removed Node 1/110 Rusty Mailbox (CAN). Alan Ianson has been MIA for many
                   months now after suddenly disappearing. I'd held his node
                   number open and maked him 'Down' for a long time in the
                   hope he may return. He hasn't. While I know he's alive
                   and well I'm not going to hold a node number open 
                   indefinitely so sadly 1/110 is no more. I hope Alan 
                   reappears one day :-|

Created FSX_BBS -  BBS software development and support. This echoarea also 
                   hosts fsxNet Wiki (wiki.bbs.geek.nz) discussions and
                   support.
                   
                   With the creation of the fsxNet Wiki it seems appropriate
                   to have a public space to discuss ideas for possible new 
                   Wiki content, edits to current content, editor requests, 
                   questions about what is on the Wiki etc. My hope is that
                   as the content on the Wiki grows, this echo area will
                   support that growth as a place for discussions about it.
                    
                   A reminder that there was an orignal FSX_BBS created
                   as a file echo. It was changed to FSX_SOFT on 2016-09-10 
                   as part of a renaming convention to decern between message
                   base echoarea tags and file base tags file area tags are
                   always four characters long where as message tags are
                   three. e.g. FSX_BBS vs FSX_SOFT

                   Who said you didn't learn anything when you read these
                   updates :) .. and no lamas were harmed in the making of
                   this documentary.

Created fsxNet Wiki The goal of the fsxNet Wiki is to support the development
                    of Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). It does so by hosting
                    useful resources and information for both BBS developers
                    and users alike.

                    It's hoped the Wiki will become a useful resource for
                    all people interested in the BBS scene, and offer helpful
                    information and links that will assist them with any
                    questions they might have.                      

                    The Wiki can be found at wiki.bbs.geek.nz

Comment -          These lines contains no useful information at all but I 
                   figured I would just write something 'just because'. Still
                   feeling guttered they killed off Han Solo. My wife says
                   "move on Paul" :) Perhaps this is a way of working through
                   the grief! Ha! 
                   
                   Kids keep saying to me "Dad, what's 9+10?" Then they say 
                   "21" ... and I say, "no it's 19" and they laugh :) I think
                   I will always correct them (insert OCD applause here :))
                   and they know I will always be be an easy target for them

## Happy New Year - Best wishes for 2017 and your BBSing adventures ahead ##

Created - NET 2 -  The start of a creating new access points for fsxNet
                   traffic. New nodes to the network will be added to NET 2
                   which is now served by a new HUB at 21:2/100
                  
Created - HUB 2 -  The Tholian HUB has been established at 21:2/100.
                   This new HUB will serve nodes in NET 2. Big thanks to 
                   Solaris at Error 404 for establishing this new Mystic
                   powered system :)  The HUB can be found at
                   error404bbs.ddns.net:24555

Updated - fsxNet Nodelist 

I've made some changes to the nodelist that reflect the addition of the new
NET and HUB. Instead of creating new 'Regions' I have opted to stick with one
for now (Region 21 - was Region 1).

I have also revised things and now assigned 'Host' notation to the what are
now NET 1 and 2. They fly the 21:1/0 and 21:2/0 AKA's held by each net
coordinator. HUB addresseing remains as 21:xx/100 and HUBs send/recieve 
all traffic with CRASH priority between them as echomail etc. is generated
around fsxNet. So HUBs fly at /0 and /100 AKA's for their respective NETs.

Also changed is the flag notation used against each node in the nodelist.
I have tried to ensure flags used are current and comply with the Fidonet
Technical Standards Committee document FTSC-5001. Copies of this document
are available from http://www.ftsc.org/docs/ if you are interested :)

Further, the epiloge in the nodelist has been paired right back to remove the
unwanted and/or non-relevant nodelist flags. A brief nod to the URL mentioned
above remains for interested sysops etc. if they want more info.

Updated - HISTORY.TXT - notation tweaks.

I am working to keep this document as easy to read as I can and due to the
new NET (and more to come) I have made minor changes to layout and notation
of this file and will do so in the future. You'll see this in new nodes
being added, removed etc.

                   and is an avid (can I say that? :)) door game player.
                   Check out the BBS at bbs.ewbbs.net or visit the website
                   at http://ewbbs.net - Welcome to fsxNet Nicholas :)

Updated - Node 149 - Redmud Castle BBS (USA) is now running on Telnet port
                     1123                   
                   
2016-12-08
Removed - Node 5 - Opted to delist this system as it will only ever talk with
                   /10 and does not need it's own node listing.
                   
Updated - Node 10 - Now referred to as the Usenet Gateway. Allows fsxNet
                    nodes that want access to a bi-directional FTN<>NNTP
                    gateway for offering Usenet newsgroups on their BBS.
                    
                    I know it's word semantics but I think it's better to
                    get the naming correct for the future. I want to avoid
                    confusion when using words like HUBs etc.
2016-12-07
Added - Node 10  - fsxNet Usenet HUB has been established to service fsxNet
                   nodes that wish to access a bi-directional FTN<>NNTP
                   gateway for offering Usenet newsgroups. It's prede
                   
Added - Node 5   - fsxNet Usenet Gateway. This is a private node with a sole
                   function of handling FTN<>NNTP between news.bbs.geek.nz
                   and 21:1/10                    

Removed - Node 140 Underland BBS (AUS) Apam has ceased using this system
                   and is opting to focus his efforts on his MagickaBBS
                   system at 21:1/125
                   
Removed - Region 2 - Usenet
Removed - Node 100 - Usenet HUB
Removed - Node 101 - Agency BBS

I was experimenting with using region 2 as a means to distribute Usenet
newsgroups to nodes that want a bi-directional FTN<>NNTP gateway.
Using 21:2/xxx addresses have now been retired in favour of using 
21:1/xxx addresses. It makes it easier for all at present to run things
this way.

Updated - FSXNET.TXT now contains a new section in the application form for
new members to provide their static ipv4 and/or ipv6 addresses (if they
have one) when signing up. This will allow their nodes to be whitelisted
at the fsxNet HUB and avoid any auto-banning that can take place from time
to time as frequent polling (4-5 times in 120 secs) of the HUB may cause.

                   Germany and is learning about BBS and how to set one up.
                   Look for some posts from him when he gets his system
                   configured. I think the plan is to try setting up Mystic
                   BBS. I've listed him as a private node for now until he
                   has a BinkP server up and running.

Added - Node 173 - Added Sinclair Retro BBS (ITA) to the Usenet HUB
                   as 21:2/173 and now feeding a variety of retro computing
                   newsgroups to Outsoft.

Removed - GOODIP.TXT - I can see how this is going to get out of date quite
                    quickly for systems that are using a dynamic IP address.
                    I think for now I am going to remove the list from the
                    infopack. I think it's a good idea but I need to think 
                    through how to best implement it in a way that ensures 
                    it's current. I just don't have the time to maintain it
                    manually.

changes to fsxNet. It is used by the fsxnet MPL script written by Xqtr.

2016-09-10
Renamed - FSX_ART to FSX_ARTS - ANSI Art - Groups, Individuals etc.
Renamed - FSX_BBS to FSX_SOFT - BBS Software (Current + Legacy)

Two of the file bases have been renamed to accomodate a new standardised 
naming convention I am applying to fsxNet.

All message echoareas will use a FSX_XXX convention while all file bases
carried by the NET will use a FSX_XXXX style of tag.

The thinking here is to make it simple to spot a file base tag from a
echoarea/ message base tags. I also wanted to pull some current FSX_XXX
tags off their currently assigned file bases should we end up using them
for echoareas in the future.

So - if you are carrying one (or both) of the following file areas can you
please ammend the EchoTag for each in your BBS setup as follows.

FSX_ART to FSX_ARTS 
FSX_BBS to FSX_SOFT

No files will be hatched to these areas until Saturday 17 September (NZST)
this gives folks a week (at minimum) to update their tags / settings. 


Created - FSX_CRY - Cryptographic discussion and experimentation.
                    Public key sharing, encoded messages, testing etc.
                    is welcome here. 

An area of interest for some members of the NET. This is a place to
further this type of discussion and experimentation. 

Created - NEWS.TXT - this is a news file that will carry info about
changes to fsxNet and is intended for future use as part of another
project that's underway. Details to come when there is more to share.

              May contain BBS and NET ads, stats reports, telemetry reports,
              traces of nuts etc. Set your BOT free in this area :)

Removed - FSX_NETS - BBS Networks, Infopacks, Nodelists file base.
Renamed - FSX_NODE - Weekly Nodelists (fsxNet, etc.)
Renamed - FSX_INFO - Weekly Infopacks (fsxNet, etc.)

I am starting to cut down and rationalise some of the file areas on the NET.
Contents posted to this area will be migrated to FSX_INFO and FSX_NODE so that
both of those file bases carry not just fsxNet infopacks and nodelists but
also the equivalent files for other NETs. I figure this is a smarter way to
use the file bases. And I really want to support other NETs.
 
The added upside of this is that if you are using Mystic to import nodelists
for a [MergeNodelists] MUTIL activity then you can start to point all of your
nodefile=\path\to\nodelist statements to the same file base :)

Update - Usenet Newsgroups

I'm experimenting with using net 2 as a means to distribute Usenet
newsgroups to nodes that want a bi-directional FTN<>NNTP gateway.
Using 21:2/xxx addresses may be the way to do this. Have addded some new
nodes to help with testing that will start soon. Still a work in progress.

Added - Node 110 - Rusty Mailbox BBS
Added - Node 122 - Necronomicon BBS
Added - Node 165 - Miskatonic BBS


Added - Node - 166 - Datanet BBS (AUS) Welcome from Melbourne, Australia to
                     Steve Ellis aka rEApz :) rEApZ is running a Mystic BBS
                     under Debian Linux and is returning to the BBS scene.
                     He was last active in the 90's and is now mucking around
                     (his words) with echomail etc. and having fun.
                     Welcome rEApZ, nice to have you in the NET + bolstering
                     the Australian membership. I think the Aussies have 
                     caught up with the Kiwis now :)
                     
Changed - Node 129 - SpaceSST BBS (CAN) Luc has advised he has major hardware
                     problems and has no time at present to rebuild his system
                     nor will not invest money in hardware to fix it.
                     So I have marked his system as DOWN for now and made his
                     node inactive. Let's see if he returns or not?

Revised - file_id.diz

I am having some issues processing infopack hatching when I include the
ASCII artwork kindly donated by RiPuk. Until I nail down the niggles I've 
reverted to the older file_id.diz for ASCII but have included the .ans
version also should systems choose to use it.

Added - Node 165 - Miskatonic BBS (ITA). As I write this Italy has just been
                   hit by a magnitude 6.2 earthquake. I was deeply worried for
                   our newest member - Antonio Capone who is the first from 
                   that amazing country to join the NET. I'm glad to report
                   he's OK. Phew. Antonio is based in Grosseto and using a 
                   Mystic BBS system on a Raspberry Pi. He's very keen on 
                   retro stuff and we're very happy to have him as part of the
                   community - welcome :)

                   programmer who has created a number of cool mods etc.
                   Welcome DM, nice to have you with us - watch out for 
                   the mod requests coming your way :)
                   
Changed - Node 140 - HappyLand BBS is no more, replaced by Underland BBS 
                     Andrew sadly had a HDD crash and lost his system so
                     this is a new replacement BBS using the same node
                     number.

Updated - file_id.diz

The fsxnet.zip infopack has been updated to include new ANSI and ASCII

slightly modfifed by Avon since. Thanks RiPuk for the artwork :)

                    all posts back in to the FSX_GEN echoarea for now.
