I know I've got about 20 or so users that log in semi-regularly, most have expressed how they used to run a BBS at one point or another. ããI'd imagine most sysops that have run a BBS for more than a few months would know what FidoNet is and possibly what "othernets" are. It's not too far of a stretch to figure out what "FTN" means. ããThat said, someone who is simply a user, and only logs into a BBS for the door games likely would have no clue. ããDaiTenguãã...
