 TL> Could a moderator request that his/her echo be gated outside of
 TL> Fidonet AND would the echo distribution system(s) actually carry
 TL> traffic that was  generated outside of Fidonet and gated into that
 TL> echo? 

   I believe that happens now, and that there are some echos which gate
   an internet usenet group into a fidonet echo.


 TL> I suppose the sticking point is the distribution

  The gated messages would most likely show an origin line of the BBS
  who is doing the gate, and so the distribution system would not even
  notice.
