Yeah, i have several different networks online on my bbs (Hard Drive Cafe) and
the way i like to distinguish them is by putting there name in front of the
echo.  like for DOVEnet (which is what comes installed on synchronet) i have my
echos there called DOVE_<echo name>  for fido its the same format
FIDO_<echoname>.   RELAY_<echoname> for relay net, and you get the idea.  I
have always found that when it comes time to debug, if you have to, its always
a better idea to be organized. :)  Less headaches down the road.. 

Yeah it takes a little bit longer to set it up that way, and yes it can be a
pain in the butt to configure all the networks like that, but i say, fix it now
and you won't have to be fixing it later.
