====================================================================
Then.. from the above, all the relevant info to reach the bbs is
there.  Clicking on one of the [Networks:] would provide more info
about that net and its echos.
====================================================================
For example, clicking on [Fidonet] would yield all the other Fidonet
echos that realitycheckBBS is known to carry.  And.. the visitor can
then once again, by clicking on a specific echo, see what other BBSes
link up with it too.
====================================================================
The idea is to help visitors identify the systems that carry the
echo of their interest, and to see how active it is.
