Subj : Re: FSX_BOT To : All From : Avon Date : Sun Oct 25 2020 21:22:32 On 21 Oct 2020 at 01:01p, Avon pondered and said... Av> Yep seems fine to me, I'll wait for other to chime in with their thoughts Av> also. It's important to me to offer clear descriptions / guidance in the Av> FSXNET.TXT doc and on the website etc. as to what each echo contains. So Av> will post something up later here to confirm my thinking is correct in Av> that regard. Hi team. Your feedback welcome :) Anything need tweaking? Too much, too little? [snip] == Echoareas ================================================================ Message Echos: FSX_TST - Test messages and other experimentation is welcome here! Messages using the subject of 'Test' *should* receive an automated response from a roBOT. Humans can also appear magically with reports too. Your mileage may vary. Offer is not available at Vanda Station. FSX_GEN - A general discussion echoarea covering many topics. FSX_MYS - Mystic BBS discussions, support and development. FSX_MAG - Magicka BBS discussions, support and development. FSX_BBS - BBS software, development and support. The echoarea is also host to fsxNet Wiki (wiki.fsxnet.nz) discussions and support. FSX_ENG - ENiGMA 1/2 BBS discussions, support and development. FSX_HAM - Amateur Radio discussions. Covers all aspects of HAM radio including DX, HF, VHF/UHF, various digital modes etc. FSX_CRY - Cryptographic discussion and experimentation. Public key sharing, encoded messages, testing etc. is welcome here. FSX_NET - Discussions about fsxNet. Chat about current network operations, plans for the future and how to best implement them. FSX_ESP - Espanol General Chat. This echoarea offers a place for Spanish language conversations. Like FSX_GEN it is a general discussion echoarea covering many topics. Test messages and other experimentation is welcome. Este echoarea ofrece un lugar para conversaciones en espanol. Al igual que FSX_GEN, es una discusi¢n general que abarca muchos temas. Mensajes de prueba y otros experimentos son bienvenidos. FSX_ADS - BBS and NETwork Ads. Run a BBS you want to tell the world about? Use a roBOT or manually post your BBS ASCII / ANSI ads here. Please don't post the same thing more than once a week (7 days). Let's keep it 'minty fresh' - too much of the same thing usually ends in a diet :) FSX_STA - Echomail + Network Stats. The echoarea for roBOT posts about echomail area stats, BBS mailer traffic and gateway activity. FTN network stats / reports are also posted here. Some people read them cover to cover while others like horoscopes better :) FSX_FIL - File Announcements. I like files, you like files, we all like files! This echoarea contains roBOT posts covering files received by fsxNet member BBS or files hatched from fsxNet HUBS to the wider community. FSX_BOT - We welcome non-human roBOT output here. Gated or original content (e.g. weather, telemetry, entertainment etc.) lives here. BBS ads (FSX_ADS) and file announcements (FSX_FIL) live elsewhere. FSX_DAT - InterBBS Data. An echomail area used by software such as InterBBS Oneliners, Last Caller Mods etc to send inter-BBS data between nodes in fsxNet. In most cases the data is not readable or of interest to human eyes. Sysops may wish to hide this echo from BBS users. [snip] The NA file looks like: [snip] FSX_TST fsxNet Test Arena FSX_GEN General Chat + More..
