    I've been following that on FSXnet, some really good stuff happening.
    :)

    Question: Is FSXNet offers echo mail like Fidonet? How many echoes do they have? How can I join?

    Thanks

    To answer your questions:

    Yes
    7 echoes (6 for human consumption, 1 for machine - machine data). FSX is based on a minimalist model, where echoes are created only when considered necessary by the participants. This seems to work, it's a very active net.

    I think you'll find details in OTHERNETS, otherwise contact Paul Hayton of Agency BBS. He's probably already read your message anyway :)

    Yeah, I ran RA back in the day. :)
