Yes, but everytime someone has attempted to do such, it has met with a certain
opposition.  You get complaints form the Usenet people about how the fidonet
people do not know the proper protocol to post in usenet, ect. and of course
the other way around.  It would be best if you gate, to have a dedicated echo
for that in my opinion at least.  I've seen some heavy arguments over the
years.
