THe technology allows us to do a lot of things that might not be

My guess is that the {at}fidonet is thought of as {at}fidonet.net....so it that's
the case, you'd have to be connected to someone who can forward it.

So you're saying then that the echomail distribution system(s) allow zones
other than 1-6?

Does that mean I could assign myself a Zone 7 number and participate in
that echo by using you as a link?
