John, one way or the other, *I* want to join the backbone, ie have access
to all the echos that Ted has.  What's your situation, are you able to get
access to all echos, or do you need your hub's approval?  I think that
between us, we might be able to create a backbone, I can get access to what
I can from one side, you get the remainder, and together we both have
everything.  BFN.  Paul.
