Fidonet Net3634 Homepage

Fidonet Net3634 is centered in and around Fayetteville, North Carolina, USA. We cover the entire eastern half of the state of North Carolina. At one time, Net3634 was populated mainly with military personel stationed at Ft. Bragg and Pope AFB. There were about 100 nodes or so and then the internet came along. No one knew how or seemed willing to bridge the gap between the internet and Fidonet. As more and more people connected to the internet, more and more nodes left Fidonet. Additionally, seeing as how we are/were populated mainly by military personel, job transfers took many members away from us. Some of those members rejoined Fidonet elsewhere and others just weren't able to locate a network in their new location.

The area that Net3634 covers was quite a bit smaller, then. Actually, covering only three counties, Lee, Harnett, and Cumberland. With the shrinkage of the entire Fidonet network and the loss of surrounding nets, Net3634 expanded to cover more and more area for those that wanted to join Fidonet and take part in the comraderie and technology. Now, as you can see, we basically split the state of North Carolina with Net379. For general purposes, I77 from Charlotte north to the state line is the dividing line with Charlotte being completely within Net379. The map above is used as a general guide based on the counties.

To join Net3634, read the basic process info here. We've also created an archive file, FIDO_KIT.ZIP, that you can download that contains the basic documentation and application files. The only other item needed that is not in this file is a current copy of the nodelist. You can get that for the most recent Friday here.
