Thats quite normal. Because, how should hpt know, who has to be connected
to the existing echoarea.

One step before; you've go to define the links at hpt.cfg who have to be
connected while creating the area.
Afterwards there is no chance to connect an aka to a echoarea.
Even if code a perl or, like me, a rexx script, you are able to connect
further nodes automatically. But be careful, because your script has to
proof the 'willing of echoareas' of the specific node. Usually you announce
new echoareas at one of your lokal mailbox-echoarea. Because of this
announcement your downlinks are able to decide, if they want the echoarea
or not.

Sure. Just run monthly a self written script, testing your echomail
directory on 256 byte echoareas, an send automatically hpt a 'destroy
echoarea' like it does squav (a areafix on os/2) ;-)
(and, no, I haven't the sources of squav. shame....)
