    FidoNet by definition is an FTN network.. though I think I've heard of some BBSes offering it via QWK (though I'm not sure that's technically allowed in the FidoNet rules).

    I thought FSXNet was also FTN-only, but I'm not sure.

    I very much doubt you'd find a QWK Fidonet feed anywhere.

    Most Fidonet echos don't allow gating in their rules.

    I thought FSXNet was also FTN-only, but I'm not sure.

    I believe there is a QWK gateway for FSXnet.

    There's actually several nets offering QWK feeds these days, but Fidonet isn't among them.

    FidoNet is not available via QWK.
    "FTN" literally means "Fido Technology Network"
    It requires a mailer (Synchronet has "BinkIT" for internet connections), and an
    echomail tosser (SBBSEcho for Synchronet)

    There is an application process and, at least for FidoNet, you need to demonstrate your ability to send/receive mail with your system.

    If you can be a bit patient, SFnet will soon be available via QWKnet as well as
    FTN.

    I may be interested in connecting to SFnet once it's available via QWKnet. Would you let us know here when that happens? Where can I find an info pack for the network?

    Info packs are available on any of my BBS' and I will be adding it to the Furmen Services web site shortly. I will be updating the sfnet.zip as soon as the QWK info is given to me. I will then make announcements on several other networks and forums and services (FB, Twitter, etc.)
