It's flatly not possible "in a minute or so". It's a long story. Some
of it is written down in the FIDOHIST documents, but they only cover
up to 86 or so.

I dont have any story/history beyond that. It is a huge task.

I think it's safe to sy, without the FidoNet USR would not be a larg
company. FidoNet hjas pushed modem performance in the PC world,
pretty much. The internet/uucp world is probqbly equiv, but is a
completely different market (not dialup mostly).

AT&T showed up at a FidoCon (I forget which year) because they
noticed a "bump" in their long lines traffic during ZMH, and was
curious wha it was all about.
