The History of


Network ST or NeST was started in 1990 after the demise of the original Atari network; F-Net, which operated on the FoReM and TurboNet bulletin boards.

The original founder members of NeST were: Daron Brewood, Mick Coleman, Steven Green, Phil Gadsby, and James Partner.

It was decided that the new network would operate using a mixture of Fidonet and F-Net technology, but use a Fidonet style nodelist (the NeSTList) to control the networks structure, and therefore adopt Fidonet technology for it's primary mail routes.

NeST now uses a mixture of Fidonet and Internet technology to get mail around the world with speed and efficiency. NeST can boast that it is the fastest and largest of the Atari networks, with an ever increasing membership from all corners of the world.
