F'req or somehow (perhaps next time you telnet here) get filegate.zxx, its
the list of available FDN's on the filegate. It's much like an echomail
backbone file and when configured your particular BBS software will do all
the filearea stuff auto as it does with backbone files for echoareas. The
filegate.zxx file is a weekly document under distribution much like the
weekly backbone files.

Cheers,
                Rick
