the name

The name "Frends" is actually an acronym that comes from the initial integration use case Frends was used in; which was using dial-up modems to connect to every gas station in Finland and exchange data between the stations and a central IBM Mainframe. This resulted in the acronym Front End Dialing System or Frends.
