As the ZC of the "other network" you're in... 

Yeah, you'll have to make a custom origin line in MSGAREA.CTL for each
echo.  Here's an example:

MsgArea MBBS
    ACS Normal
   Desc General BBS Chat
  Style Squish Echo Pub Alias
   Path d:\msgs\minbbs
 Origin 618:618/1 618:618/1 Micronet WHQ - Douglasville, GA
End MsgArea

This has worked for me for years now.

Later,
Sean
