It is now linked to the FamilyNet BBS network and distributed around the world using Fido Technology and the Internet. We would like to see Orthodox parishes, seminaries and monasteries setting up their own BBSs, and linking into this network. If you are a member of an Orthodox parish, or if there is a monastery and seminary nearby, please inform them about this, and encourage them to participate. If you want to start your own BBS, all you need is a computer, a modem and a phone line. Parishes, schools, seminaries etc could easily start a BBS using an office computer, and run the BBS after office hours.
Individuals can do the same thing.
See How to start your own BBS for more details. It uses Zone 8 for mail exchange. Mail is also available via Planet Connect in the USA, and by ftp from ftp.fmlynet.org . It is for discussion of the Orthodox Christian Faith by both Orthodox and non-Orthodox. This is the main OCNet discussion conference, and has the widest range of discussion.
