No, well, this is not a plus of the network, but of the software for this network on the ZX platform! Yes, it is convenient to use (I think so, although I haven’t used it myself. In small towns, creating
ZXNET is unrealistic, but FIDO is.). FIDO software for natural Spec is still
weaker than for PC. But he is actively being written.

And I climb directly into FIDO, and know no sorrow. :) No, there is, of course, the
problem of ZED being slow, but it is still the first and
only full editor.
And the main problem is scarcitycheap haes modems, and you can solder them yourself with a wicom. But for pisishniks this problem is also
relevant, however, the price of a modem relative to the cost of the entire
machine looks different there.

And it is not clear why a spektrumist who logged into FIDO with a chaos modem
is a kettle, and a pisishnik who plugged in a modem is not a kettle. Why do Spectrum players need to be first “trained” for a long time, and then
only “put” into FIDO?
All the best.
With respect, Roman Milukov.

If you are about Vic, then you would write to BS. Or do you need some hays on Speck (my
boss has a regular T-Mail)?

This is actually a path independent of the platform. The only thing that _so far_
distinguishes a fidoshnik on spec from a pisishnik is the absence of a normal mailer, and
therefore some transport through#option. Well, perhaps we still need to
use our brains in order to connect the modem.
