While he lived in San Francisco from 1988 until 1991, Jennings was the publisher and co-editor, with Deke Nihilson, of Homocore, one of the first Queercore zines.
Jennings currently resides in Los Angeles, California, with his partner Josh Stehlik and works as a technician at the University of California, Irvine's Arts Computation Engineering graduate program.

 ASCII by Jason Scott: Tom Jennings, Renaissance Man   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Sure, you say, Arpanet and all that, but unlike Arpanet, Jennings' program just required a modem and a PC and a phone line, and suddenly you had a personal node on the network, right there.
This was the "ah hah" that brought many more people in to keep this dream going, folks who didn't have the opportunity of working on DARPA research projects or cradled in the hands of an academic institution.
A large group of folks circled around Tom when he started working on Fido, taking the fidonet network and making it more scalable and robust, improving the "fidonet protocol" and, even cooler, writing third-party modules that would allow you to bootstrap a ton of other BBS programs into the Fidonet network as well.

 4.04: The Anarchist
Jennings felt CIX was acting like the media oligopolies the Internet has always worked around.
Jennings jokes that "we should do advertising that says, 'We hate the Internet.'" To Jennings, Internet access is "just business - nothing but business." If a potential customer calls asking about getting connected to the "information superhighway," TLG staffers know this is someone cruising on hype and not on business need.
Tom Jennings established rules of the road for FidoNet that remain as simple and powerful as Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics: on FidoNet, do not launch pirated software, "do not become excessively annoying, and do not become excessively annoyed." Meaning, of course, don't attract the attention of law enforcement, and live and let live.

 FidoNet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The network still exists today, but is dwindling in size and organization, due to the lack of callers to BBS systems that it was developed to serve, and the closing of most of those systems as a result.
FidoNet was originally founded in 1984 by Tom Jennings of San Francisco, California as a means to network together BBSes that used his own "Fido" BBS software.
Over time, other BBS software was independently adapted to support the relevant FidoNet protocols, and the network became a popular means for hobbyist computer users to communicate.
