 I always thought that most of the reason for regions/nets was to
 minimize telco tolls, but I suppose it was more of a function of
 making polls scale when you're doing dial-up at 2400 and have some
 boards not running CM.

 I suppose we could run Fido like a region - if there's someone to
 manage a net, they're welcome to do so. If not, I have an IP-only
 network that nodes from across two states participate in - an area rthe
 size of Sweden and Spain.
