Updated: 10/11/2017 by Computer Hope
FidoNet is a group of systems first created by Tom Jennings in 1984. It utilizes the proprietary protocol UUCP (Unix-to-Unix copy) that exchanges e-mail, files, and Usenet news through a vast group of BBSes, modems, and the Internet. To access and communicate with a FidoNet site, you use e-mail, and Usenet News.
