The primary issue I see (and did then) was that there is no uniform place /
file etc where you can see what Echo's are available.
Now Janis seems to keep the most as far as I can tell and I get most of them
but that depends on what my downlinks request from my system and here all are
held i.e., none are on passthru (as far as I know that is).
This way any downlink can connect and request a RESCAN for echo area and some
do just that.
As far as a response to a message here I ingored it as I 'Assumed' that some
one from North American would at the end I did but may have mis-understood
the question as a request to ADD status etc is in the wrong echo at best but
as
the Elist maintainer it is not really down to me but the moderator for that
echo and that only entails sending a MOD-ADD file to my system and then check
in ELIST to confirm it has been added or not receiving a error message via
netmail if the file has an error.
