Yes, but I think what I was trying to say was that you can 
identify a network by it's zone number.  Like fsxNet is 21:x/x and 
FidoNet is [1-4]:x/x and so on.  Not sure I'm getting across what 
I mean here...  But fsxNet (by definition) could not have any 
zones in the 1-4 range, because those are already "taken" by 
FidoNet.  That's all I meant by the above... 

Is there an interesting story behind your choice of 21 for fsxNet?

Thanks!
