Nick Andre: 1:229/426

You'll need a binkd server/client setup.  He scans/tosses once a day.
There's a USENET echo on fidonet sent by Nick that lists the active usenet
areas for the past several days.  I've had him for a few days now and it
seems pretty reliable.  I've had quite a few echo areas added to his list as
well.
