For a tosser, ok....  But we were talking sqafix, which is an areafix
handler for the echo areas.

Ah....  Does HPT use regular expressions for matching the echo area names? 
Or will it match exact names with out adding wildcards before and/or after
the given name.  For example, will HPT give you USR_SPORTSTER echo in
addition to the USR echo when all you requested was the USR echo?  This is
my gripe with some of the hubs that have switched to LINUX based systems --
they have ingnored being compatible with the older systems in this area --
breaking sofware for their downlinks that used to work....  :(

Take care.....
