I don't know what information's out there, some of the tools are a bit new. 

It's possible, I'm Fidonet RC10 and a hub for Micronet. I'm using Synchronet 
as a mailer/areafix manager and hosting file echoes. I'm using Makenl to 
create the nodelist segments and it all mostly works OK.

Before this setup, I used Argus as a mailer, Allfix for file processing, and 
sbbsecho for message area requests and mail tossing.

The only thing missing at this point, and I need to look into it more, is 
passthrough requests for file areas. I don't carry a lot of them, and would 
like to have the ability to pass on file echoes without hosting them.

The wiki entries on binkit and tickit are pretty good. Nodelist support in 
Echocfg gets a little tricky if you're a hub for more than one network.

The #synchronet IRC channel on DOVEnet is a good place to ask for help when 
you're setting things up. I'm usually on tilde.club lately, I'm currently 
going through a #trivia phase...  :)


... How did you find this place?
