    Get a nodenumber ...

    Why? What's wrong with JamNNTPd? They are easily accessible -- as in a few clicks away -- all around the world with nothing but a standard computer installation. What extra "service" do you get with a nodenumber?

    The times when you needed a nodenumber to connect your BBS to the global network for Bulletin Board Systems (as per the very first, actual sentence in P4) are looong gone...

    Then how does one connect one's BBS to the FIDONET without a nodenumber?

    With a point?
