According to the EchoList of August this year,

    Echo: TRAPDOOR
    Desc: support echo for the Amigan frontend
   OSMod: 
   Z3Mod: 
Importer: Peter Deane
 Address: 
   Rules: 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but by rights, if a dupe ring does occur, wouldn't
it be the fault of the other importer.

Of course the Echo List I took this from is now 2 months out of date.

 PD> However, the crossover linking has not occured in the past and there
 PD> WERE two gates even then.
