    Theoretically, what would be the minimum number of Fidonet systems required implement the current nodelist model or structure to operate properly?

    One.

    One.

    Would one system qualify as a network?

    The question specifically asked the minimum required to implement the nodelist to operate correctly.

    One only needs to install a mailer and compile a nodelist.

    The nodelist itself can even have just one entry and since that would most likely be the Zone definition, that one system "is" the network.

    Therefore logically, one works.

    I could have sworn that I saw network in the question. My mistake.

    One only needs to install a mailer and compile a nodelist. The
    nodelist itself can even have just one entry and since that would
    most likely be the Zone definition, that one system "is" the
    network.

    I see your point. That's what I get for reading messages with 3 hours of sleep in the last 48.

    There was no requirement of a network. Just "nodelist" and
    "operate properly". Just one is enough.
    "That will be Fidonet, party of one, please." Doesn't sound like
    too much fun. :(

    Only one system. That doesn't prohibit multiple users using Telnet, dial up or any other type of access you might have from participating. Or even point systems, since generally points aren't on the node list.

    There was no requirement of a network. Just "nodelist" and
    "operate properly". Just one is enough. :)

    I've noticed.
