Hi! Roy,

There isn't any that I'm aware of.  There's two ways to access the echo's
contents as a lump-sum =collection= ...

* via a Fidonet BBS someplace (dial-up or telnet), or

* through a news (NNTP) server.

My BBS isn't publically available any more though I now run a news server,
which pretty much achieves the same thing. (There's an account created on
it for you already.)  If you do email via something like Outlook Express or
Thunderbird, then you can do news as well.

My server is a Fidonet server, and has the capability to properly address
messages to real names instead of the (dumb) standard "All".  An
account on the server also provides access to other sort-of-related echoes
(there's a group of about 8 of them), and access to another 100+ other
unrelated echoes as well.

I have my system maintenance routines set to keep up to 2000 messages in
all echoes, though there's only 500 in this area at present.  There's a
"bugger!"/"beaudy!" factor there, depending on what
side of the river you grew up on.  ;-)

The email method you're currently using just gets whatever may be going
through the echo at a particular time.

If you want to use the news server just give me a 'hoy!' in email:
eskimo261#bigfoot.com and I'll send you your ID/password and connection
information.

Cheers,
Paul.

... When all else fails, read the docs.
