    MP> Sounds grate. Might run into Asian girls on bbs lol doubt it. By the    
    MP> way what is Z3?    
      
   LOL!  Anyways, Fidonet is split to functional 'zones'.  Zone 1 (Z1) is   
   North America (USA, Canada)   
      
   Z2 is europe across Russia   
   Z3 is Australia and New Zeland   
   Z4 is South America and Mexico   
   Z5 was Africa   
   Z6 was Asia   
      
   The center populated BBS area of Z6 falls in the same longitude as Z3 hence has   
   a good time for ZMH match (when sites are supposed to not allow callers and   
   stay open just for traffic between BBSs).  In fact, when I first became the Z6   
   coordinator, one of the first thngs I did was change the Z6 ZMH hour to match   
   Z3.   
      
   Z6 and Z3 shared many things including message feeds.  In fact, they shared the   
   same person for the echomail coordinator when I got there.   
      
   The Z3 remaining sysops voted summer of 2007, to move to Z3 when I was leaving   
   so I transited them over.  There were 7-8 BBSs at the time left.
