I dont rember the policy's of the old ADS system, as I had left fidonet at the 
time it was running. The other issue is who is linked into the current area's 
and does it go anywhere besides the eastern star...

I sent off a email to them about four months ago asking some basic questions 
about the setup etc, due to the cost of hosting here... I'm not going to hold 
my breath about getting a reply.

But I do run my own private aminet mirror for the bbs setup.
