The only thing about that is that all the information that will be transferred
via AREAS.BBS (links-wise) would be what links are connected to what echomail
areas.

That would be awesome, if something could actually be made to work in regards
to this for newer softwares. I believe Fastecho's nodes can be exported, and
FMail can read that on import.. probably because they were originally started
around the same time.

I don't think SBBS or SBBSecho can export actual link information. However,
SBBSecho does save link information to a text file (ie: sbbsecho.ini), as does
HPT (fidoconfig).. albeit two completely different formats.. so it would
probably be a pain in the ass to make anything work with more than one
software. ;(

Regards,
Nick
