   For some strange reason, Fidonet continued working in Rusia after it   
   stopped in Europe. They took over the development of software, too.   
      
   For a while at least, I could participate in Fidonet using internet   
   instead of a modem. Then my uplink failed, his computer broke down and   
   he gave up. Could not find another suitable node.
