A missing AREAS.BBS file won't stop you from being able to connect to
anything.  It may cause you not to be able to toss mail, although I think
the newer versions of synchronet/sbbsecho don't require an AREAS.BBS so
long as you have the "new" alternative set up correctly.

I have not tried the "new" method, so I cannot be so helpful there.
