I should of clarified... trendy as in, a Fido tech thing that benefits the
internal workings of the network. Something that many Sysops worldwide
accepted as solving a problem that was worth documenting as a standard.

Moving packets with a protocol like BinKD as opposed to dialup or the
freaking mess that was TransX emails, FTP etc.... BinkD was tech that had a
significant contribution to improving mail flow.

But Telegram.... mehhhhh... I dunno. I know some people like it but it comes
across as being one persons pet project. One person's board goes down and the
gating stops. Its not really a protocol, it comes across more as a gateway by
one single person. There are many Sysops who don't really see that benefit.
