Yes ad I self started with to have it. The nodes and sysops can then self
deside of which file echo to get and then the files.
I have sevaral links for both Filegate files and other networks.

I send out with 2mbit and have for some network, as linuxnet and gmsnet
about 15 downlinks, some of them is very slow on polling and getting mail,
some have now nearly not polled in over a month and is not write a word to
me on any thing, stopping in a network but just not have their fido system
set up right to polls all uplinks so they playing around wit their mailer
and mail system so they forget all uplinks for info and setup to polling
and fetch for mail.

  Take care,
            Gert
