I'm no expert, and a total n00b when it comes to fido tech, but what about creating the ability for the person in charge of echos on a network to be able to send a special areafix command out to alll echo subscribers that would automatically remove the dead echoes from the systems? Would probably require a way to have areafix watch the echoes for a special command to be sent through the echo. --- Before the Web - telnet: furmenservices.net:23232 Legends of Yesteryear (FIDO 1:123/256) - telnet: furmenservices.net:23322 Sound Source ]|[ - telnet: furmenservices.net:2323 Furmen's Folly (FIDO 1:123/257) - telnet: furmenservices.net:23 --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A44 2020/02/04 (Windows/64) * Origin: Before the Web (21:4/102) .
