 DM> Is it possible those areas are listed as pass-through in your area file
 DM> (areas.bbs)? So far, that's the only explanation I can come up with.

Yes, all subs except one are listed as pass through but once a node's address
is listed, should sbbsecho see they're linked?  Should I remove the sportnet.na
file and just have them use the areas.bbs?
