Thanks poindexter I really appreciate the summary and can see the appeal. I need to get into this as I'm currently a bunch of metal boxes all whirring away in an upstairs 'radio room' that serves up fsxNet NET 1, Total FM (totalfm.nz), the NNTP server (news.bbs.nz), and on it goes..

Could you give some thought (with the input of others here) as to what you think the echoarea tag should be, what the short description / title of the echo should say, and what the longer description wording would be against the echo tag in the fsxnet.txt file?

I'm supportive of creating the echo and seek others feedback on the creation of it also.

Best, Paul
