Only 1381? If so it is not exhaustive. The merged result of the areafix
responses of just two om my links show more. And that is just two of many
links.

Whatever, that is not an official list, just some hobby project from an R50
sysop.

I do not have that file echo on my system. I have no use for it.

If it is not part of Fidonet as some claim, why does it need a Z1IN?

Actions speak louder than words. By assigninng that ZIN, you gave your fiat.
