       US> Another problem here: there are no Zonegates listed in Zone 2 Nodelist        US> for fidonet Zones 1-4, so Zone 1 Zonegate will no longer work ... :-P        US> but this is another story ....        O.k. This is really messed up! It'd appear our great elected officials       of fidonet are slacking. ;-) I'd have to look into the past nodelist files       to see where the removal of the zone gates occured. Most likely the zone       coordinator changed something in the config file for his version of makenl or       nlmake, etc whatever he uses. He most likely didn't notice that for some       strange reason he lost the zone gates. Either that, or he was just a jerk       and didn't want Zone 1 communicating with Zone 2, and said "I'll just take       the zone gates out, so no one has to listen to Zone 1!" Who knows, maybe he       was kicked out of a Zone1 echomail area, and thought "Hey, if they can't       contact my echo mail feeds, they can't cut them!" But otherwise, assuming       he removed the zone gates because no one could provide the gating service in       zone 2 due to expensive cost and lack of internet feed to various zones, then       I'd say why wouldn't he have the decency to contact the other zone managers       and let them know he was removing them. Who knows, maybe he did and the zone       1 coordinator just got forgetful and said "Yeah, I'll remove it this week",       and this week never come....              ---       John Guillory [KF5QEO]       westlakegeek@yahoo.com       KF5QEO@1:396/60              --- Mystic BBS v1.10 A38 (Windows)        * Origin: kingcoder.net (1:396/60)    |
