 In some cases, FidoNet nodes, or more often FidoNet points, had no public bulletin board attached and existed only for the transfer of mail for the benefit of the node's operator.Most nodes in 2009 had no BBS access, but only points, if anything.The original "Fido BBS" software, and some other FidoNet-supporting software from the 1980s, is no longer functional on modern systems.
