This is FIDOGATE, a gateway software between the worlds of FIDO (and
FTNs, Fido Technology Networks in general) NetMail/EchoMail and the
UNIX mail/news system. FIDOGATE will convert FIDO mail packets to
RFC-style messages and vice versa.

See file doc/fidogate.txt or doc/fidogate.ps for detailed (well, sort
of ... ;-) instructions on how to compile and install FIDOGATE.

There is a mailing list for FIDOGATE discussions and announcements:

    fgate-users@gondor.gun.de
