Yeah, that's basically how I think of it.  Since sbbsecho is included with Synchronet (and I think has been since I started using Synchronet), I tend to think of sbbsecho as a component of Synchronet/SBBS.  And sbbsecho seems to do the job, and I don't know of another tosser I'd rather use in place of it.
