Hello All!

Q14 =======================================================================

What does the Backbone expect of nodes who operate as "Gateways"?

Gateways must remove foreign distribution identifiers (including seen-bys)
which might adversely affect the distribution of the echo on the Backbone.
Pathlines, however, should be left intact.  The origin line should be that
of the Gateway.

Gateways also pass netmail into the other network, unless it is technically
impossible to do so.

What is the procedure for a netmail gate?
I have been entrusted with 63:63/1 and all netmail for the zone
is routed from here.
I doubt very much any fidonet system would know where to send
a netmail for this zone(63).
Seems it might need to be a 5d address too?
