When I use OpenXP on my Client and create a message for my own Area Manager sitting on my Synchronet instance to send me a list of available areas, then SBBSEcho successfully processes this message and wants to send me this list by extracting it from the areas.bbs file - which doesn't exist (yet).

So how do I get my node setup (i.e. synchronet) to request this file from my hub in turn?

Areafix itself is working now as stated above. However, I need it to exchange information with my hub as well. Right now it only seems to talk to my .1
