  • AREAFIX

    From Spitfire@80:774/1 to All on Wed Oct 29 20:35:42 2025
    Everyone needs to AREAFIX their echos. Well, I think the last 3 systems that were added are good. It seems that everyone else were dropped from all the echos in all 3 networks. Do the same with FILEFIX.

    How would we have received this message if all echos were dropped on
    your end? That's right, we could not.

    Do you think a direct NETMAIL might have been a good idea?

    The only reason I knew to check it was that I wasn't getting any
    traffic, and I did a "%LINKED" with Areafix and saw that I wasn't
    connected any more...

    How did you happen to delete all the echos from everybody?

    I posted it here for those who visit this BBS, and for those who were still gettin gthe echos it would have made it there also. I posted it on Facebook on the ROFBBS group. I also mentioned it on the One-Liner on the rofbbs.com website. I have not figured out how to send a mass netmail to all the nodes.

    As for how did I do it. Not sure, but now I have the Mystic directory backed up daily. :)

    Glad you figured it out!
