This doesn't really make any sense...

If you can "send/receive netmail fine", then the problem is 
obviously at the hub's end.  Sending your hub an areafix is 
nothing more than sending a netmail.  If the hub doesn't respond 
properly to that netmail, it's a problem at the hub.  If the hub 
is running Synchronet, then yes, it could be a problem with the 
hub's SBBSecho.

All of this is assuming you're sending a properly formatted 
netmail to the hub's "areafix".  Should be to "Areafix@1:xxx/xxx" 
with your areafix password in the Subject line, and then the 
desired areafix commands (like +FIDONEWS) in the body of the 
netmail.

I'd recommend checking all of the above requirements for a 
properly formatted Areafix netmail, and if it is indeed correct, 
then send a regular netmail to the Hub Sysop asking why things are 
not working.  Good luck!
