As an example I will use my old configuration for the three FTN-nets Fido (zone 2), Gernet (zone 21) and Fido.de (zone 242). I have the following addresses:
I poll all three nets at the same uplink, but with different uplinks.
There wouldn't be many changes. Fido.de is an Internet-connection via
the gate of Martin Junius in Aachen, Germany. From the Internet one
can reach me at roland@p13.flokiste.fido.de. I send my
Internet mails to UUCP@242:4900/99.
Please do not send me any mail to theses adresses. I changed my connections. But for this documentation I use them, as they're quite handy to explain the different techniques.
If you don't know an Internet gate yet, you should search for one, because FidoGate supports this execellently and assumes that you have an UUCP uplink or at least a connection to a gate.
Meanwhile I have found a direct Internet access at rhein.de for my computer, so that my computer can be reached as spinnaker.rhein.de via Internet. The computer rhein (it's located in the UUCP-worldmap so it doesn't need a domain, but nowadays this is an exception) supplies me with mail and news. I'll try to describe the configuration with Internet via a gate (fido.de) and via UUCP (rhein.de) parallely in this HOWTO, so that everybody should find his configuration.
Please note: Do not use my addresses when testing your configuration. Use your own, otherwise I will get the answers to your questions.
