Hi Stephen,

Gates need special configuration, so not everybody is going to do that on his
own initiative!

Besides othernets are relatively small, and even fidonet isn't that big
anymore, so when a problem like this is arising, it would be easy to contact
the individual sysops concerned and fix things!


Bye, Wilfred.
