Why did I never see Ruth's original message...? Hmm.

I have no clue. If a newbie such as myself wanted to learn more about
the inner workings of Fidonet, what would you suggest as a first step?
I imagine it would help to set up a private BBS to experiment with. If
i wanted to run a public BBS, what would you say the requirements are?
Would a residential Internet connection be adequate?

I like the idea of having the source code so i could debug it, or even
change it if desired. I personally think it would be fun to run it on
FreeDOS and compile it with free tools such as OpenWatcom.
