Hello Ross!


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

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

 DC>> Gateways also pass netmail into the other network, unless it is
 DC>> technically impossible to do so.
So the other network stated here is what?

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


 RC> There is no Zone 63 in Fidonet, it is a "Othernet".
