Hi all,

I've just joined Whispnet and found they they have echoes that have the same tag once I export them to the areas.bbs file

bbs@bbs:/sbbs/data$ egrep -i "ascii_art| wrestling | electronics " AREAS.BBS FIDO_ASCIIART ASCII_ART 1:396/45
FIDO_ELECTRON ELECTRONICS 1:396/45
FIDO_WRESTLIN WRESTLING 1:396/45
WN_ASCIIART ASCii_Art 316:36/1
WN_WRESTLIN Wrestling 316:36/1
WN_ELECTRON Electronics 316:36/1


So, how would I handle this so that I receive incoming echomail for these groups since they're listed as duplicates and ignored.

ASCii_Art was recently changed to WEN-ANSI-ART

Wrestling will soon be changed to WEN-Wrestling
Electronics will soon be changed to WEN-Electronics

Thanks for pointing this out. Check the WEN Admin for updates.

Looks like your BBS still has it as ASCII_Art

Wrestling will soon be changed to WEN-Wrestling
Electronics will soon be changed to WEN-Electronics

Drop me an email, if you would, when it's fixed for those three.

I also have a problem with Recovery which clases with something I picked up from my
Fido hub but that's not in the backbone.na so not sure where it came from. Having
WEN- for all the echo groups would really help, I think.

Thanks,
Nigel

You'd have to use a separate sbbsecho.cfg and area file for one of those networks.

Correction sbbsecho.ini (with a different filename or location) - but it sounds like you have another solution in the works.

I thought WEN went down.. I might have to re-join if it's still going.

WEN is up and on-line. You are welcome to join. Just pick up the WEN
Infopack at http://bbs.vintagebbsing.com ...fill out the application and
e-mail it to me and together we can get you setup and running again.

Whisper-Echo-Net is an open, family oriented message network with a variety
of echoes. To the others out there that may be interested in joining, just send me an WEN application.
