  • Other networks report

    From Dmitry Protasoff@2:5001/100.1 to All on Sunday, February 15, 2026 15:21:40
    Hello, All!

    I've never been interested in other FTN networks out there, but it looks like many Fidonet nodes also participate in some of them or pretend to be doing that. They present such 5D addresses as their AKAs and I've decided to add a report about that:

    https://nodelist.fidonet.cc/analytics/other-networks


    Actually, I am going to finish modem tests soon and nodelist.fidonet.cc won't be improved for quite some time while I finish my all-in-one FidoNet software project :)

    Best regards,

    You're finally switching to D'Bridge?

    It's so old-school and hardcore that I don't even have enough courage to use it, let alone ask the author for the source code ;)

    Interesting!

    But I see an anomaly for node 2:423/81, on the AmigaNet page:

    https://nodelist.fidonet.cc/analytics/other-networks/nodes?network=amiganet&days=30&limit=1000

    His 3 AmigaNet AKA's are listed twice!?


    Bye, Wilfred.

    You've got an eagle eye!

    Yes, it's a bug - a combined AKA list from both BinkP and ifcico/EMSI tests. Fixed!
