But they corresponded FIDONET Policy 4.07 1.2.5: "A zone is a large
geographic area containing many regions, covering one or more countries

What number of these and georgraphical place?

Yes, it's possible.

It is not listing on my nodelist (261, for September 17, 2004, from Z2C).

OK, please send me existing ZONE7 nodelist (if it large then zipping it and
UUE to me, or send to email vbd1(at)yandex.ru (replace (at) to {at} - spammers
