Editing Store and forward (section)

==FidoNet==
{{main|FidoNet}}
FidoNet was an email store-and-forward system for [[bulletin board system]]s that peaked at 45,000 systems with millions of users across the world. The system was highly efficient, using the latest [[file compression]] and [[file transfer]] systems to aggressively drive down the cost of transmission on what was largely a hobby network. The system was later modified to support public messages ([[internet forum|forums]]) called EchoMail, which grew to about 8&nbsp;MB a day, compressed.
