So I've been working on this wizard-style installer for FidoNet and
FTN-Othernets in Synchronet (v3.17c+).

It's a pretty automated process setting up FidoNet zone 1, fsxNet and AmigaNet,
(mainly because their echolists are http[s]-gettable).

You can look at the data file that this script uses here:
http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ctrl/init-fidonet.ini?view=markup

Currently represented are FidoNet zones 1-4, fsxNet, Agoranet, AmigaNet, and
VKRadio net. If you are the administrator/coordinator of a network incorrectly
or under represented in this file, please let me know the details.

I'm also interested in getting more details about FidoNet zones 2-4
(coordinator, downloadable echolist location, info web-site, etc.) if anyone
can provide that info or links to same. Thanks, -Rob
