JP> FIGHTBELL is the name that this echo is known by on the JP>Fidonet backbone. When the same echo travels through JP>usenet it is known as "alt.cosuard." Thanks for taking the time to give me an overview of the whole distribution process. JP> We are trying to minimize internet gatewaying so as to JP>avoid dupe loops springing up everywhere. For this reason, JP>all Fidonet/ usenet gatewaying is being handled here in JP>Houston on the one node that is known as 106/988 to Fidonet ... JP> For what network were you interested in handling a JP>gateway? I am interested in establishing a gateway between FidoNet and Usenet (but not to distribute this echo, which is already passing through a gateway). I asked the question here because of all echoes I carry, FIGHTBELL seems to be distributed across the widest variety of networks. Thanks for your response- I appreciate it!
