Hi, August!

AA>>> Interesting. Maybe the destination is just ONE fido area at the
AA>>> fellow's BBS, for now.
WvV>> That doesn't make any sense for a fido to telegram bot...
AA> If there is more than one destination area, how do you direct your netmail
AA> post to a specific one?
For now netmail is restricted. But it can be translated too.
WvV>> Experimenting is one of the perks of FidoNet! ;)
AA> Maybe we can get Stas Mishchenkov at 2:460/58 to explain his system for
AA> us.
Yes. You can. ;)
There are fido echo areas and Telegram groups with names equal fido echo tags.
When a message appears in the Telegram group, it is copied to the echo
conference of the same name and vice versa, messages from the echo conference
are copied to the same group. The files will be sent as URLs to the Fido part and UUE from Fido will be decoded and sent as files to the telegram.
