Well, Tom Jennings rented a mailbox from me when I ran a mailbox rental and telephone answering service on Market Street. I also went to a party of his in the skateboard commune where he used to live on Folsom Street. And then when he published Homocore, I hung out a bit. So, our first meeting would have had to be about 1981. I also (currently) know Tim Pozar, the #2 guy behind Fido/Fidonet. Hey, the world was a smaller place then...

Jeff Rush did in 1985. Don't know Tim Pozar. In late 1985, Jeff Rush, a Fido sysop in Dallas, Texas, wanted a convenient means of sharing ideas with the other Dallas sysops. He created a system of programs he called Echomail, and the Dallas Sysops' Conference was born. Within a short time sysops in other areas began hearing of this marvelous new gadget and Echomail took on a life of its own. A scant year and a half later, the FidoNet public network boasted a myriad of conferences hosting from a dozen users, to hundreds of users. The popularity of echomail has steadily increased since its beginning and today it's not uncommon for a system to carry 30 or more conferences and share those conferences with 10 or more systems. -- With best regards, gufus.
