- | fsxNet - [F]un, [S]imple, e[X]perimental Network[edit] | ||
- | fsxNet is a a Bulletin board system (BBS) FTN style network established in late 2015. | ||
- | |||
- | Technologies covered by the network include (but are not limited to) BBSing, ANSI art, Amateur (HAM) Radio, Retro / Vintage Computers & Gaming, FTN communications, network protocols & topologies, encryption methods, contemporary computers (e.g. Raspberry Pi), computer coding and more. | ||
- | |||
- | The network appeals to computing enthusiasts that enjoy using and experimenting with retro computing technologies. | ||
- | |||
- | Technical Configuration | ||
- | fsxNet uses Fido Technology Networking to communicate between connected Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). | ||
- | |||
- | The network uses Zone 21 and an FTN addressing schema (zone:net/node) e.g. 21:1/101 | ||
- | |||
- | NETs operating within the network are serviced by HUB systems that in turn feed messages and files to linked nodes. The network uses a star topology with HUB systems passing traffic between NETs. TCP/IP and the BinkP protocol (port 24554) is used to transfer data across the network. | ||
- | |||
- | There are over 100 nodes in the fsxNet nodelist spanning all parts of the globe. The network has grown steadily since it's inception. |
