Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get back into FidoNet (was a point system way back in 1993-94), and have reached out a couple of times to my RC/NC (same person) and haven't had any luck getting in touch. I've even tried to get on a few of the system in my network but haven't been able to get on their systems either.

I was wondering if anyone would allow me to be a point on
their system until I can get my address woes sorted out.

Thanks,
Andy

Feel free to contact me. I can help you contact the NC/RC you need to get in touch with to get a node.

You are also welcome as a point off my node if you like.

You can email me at agianson[at]gmail[dot]com.

I can sort it out for you even without going via a point address. You can get a fully fledged address here, as long as you meet the required functionality as an FTN node..

Might be good to let us know the RC/NC you tried to contact and which net the BBS's are in your tried.

I was trying to reach out to T.J. Barlow. He's the RC/NC for the area. I've tried 1:15/0 (the region) and 1:114/0 (the network).

Trying to reach T.J. is like trying to call Elvis sometimes :)

I'll drop him a note and see if he responds.

Probably you have sorted out your issue already, but if
still needed let me know, I can have a point for you.
