   Hmm.. just looking at my external.bbb.. do you have a seperate "areafile"?   
      
   External.bbb says   
    one line per remote system / user name:   
      user name,areafile,my_suffix,remote_suffix,route_regexp   
    where areafile has lines:   
      qwk_number,local_name   
      
      
   I've never set up Agnet, but I expect "areafile" is similar to an areas.bbs   
   file?   
      
   So, in external.bbb:   
      
   BCG BOX,agareas,@BCG,@   
   (system)(file)(suffix)(route regex)   
      
   In the file say named agareas,  "the QWK index numbers should be matched   
   against the correct local conferences. In the file, one line defines one   
   conference in qwk_number,local_name-style format."   
      
   In a file named agareas:   
      
   area Area   
   #   name   
   ==, =====   
   15,Net_Chat   
      
   Maybe that will work with the bogus r and bogus w command?  or am I way off   
   here?   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
