Well..... that depends on the arrangements between a BBS and it's hubs.  All
of my hubs send me echomail as it comes to them.  My BBS sends mail to them
the instant it's posted on my system, and additionally polls them a few times
a day just to be sure.

It's all about how it's set up.  Saying a hub is not calling you is too 
generalized and in many/most cases, incorrect.



.... Never assume the obvious is true!
