   I know virtually nothing about BBSs or FidoNet (or FTNs in general), so   
   please correct me if I'm wrong.   
      
   Your statement, "I would like to read my fido mail" makes me think that   
   you want email, which I believe is tied to a specific BBS.  Or at least   
   a specific BBS at the FidoNet node address.   
      
   This makes me think that connecting to any random BBS with your C128   
   won't do what you want.   
      
   Or are you talking about reading posts to echos?  I think that could be   
   done by connecting to any random BBS that does carry that echo and have   
   history going back that far.

   I suspect I wasn't much help.   
      
   But I would appreciate if anyone can help educate me on what and where   
   I'm wrong in my understanding.
