Some people like to group echoes by network.  Say, "F" for Fidonet.  Or, even
"V" for echoes from Michiel van der Vlist.  Mine are grouped per 'interest',
regardless of origin and reflect the way they were grouped on my old RA BBS,
and, as they are still on my current Mystic BBS.

The overriding consideration is access by caller type.  Your 'allowed' file
didn't allow the proper access to Tommi.  But, hey, I'm not an expert.  It's
just my point of view.  I probably got mine wrong and the last line may
override the previous ones.  :)

Cheers,
Paul.
