Because it would seriously degrade my connectivity. The switch from dial up
connection via analog POTS to a "wideband" internet connection brought greater
speed, but for Fidonet the main improvement was going to 24/7 connectivity
without additional cost. That was a major change for the better and the
Fidoweb as we have it now would be impossible without it. Going back to non
24/7 connectivity is not an option for me. I may consider moving from a full
desktop to a Raspbery Pi for the node. It only takes 5 Watt.


Cheers, Michiel
