Hi Oli!

I meant shout-out /advertising about the echo itself.

That was done.

As Brother described, it's very much just a way to access his bbs
system with a smartphone/tablet or the desktop with some of the
advantages of Telegram itself: portability from device to device,
for one thing.

Every single fidonet echo would not make sense. The Telegram
solution is best for the basic chatty types of echos.  Echos with
charts, fixed-with tables, wouldn't look good.
