   There may be better ways to do this, but the way I do it is in the groups file:   
      
   Towards the bottom of the file, there is a conference access section   
      
      
    conference access   
      
      
   Z1C@:all   
   Z1C@rw:fsysop   
   [...]   
      
   The above prevents bbs users from reading that area, and only I can read and   
   post there.   
      
   Now anyone can still link to this area as a downlink with this, so I gave the   
   area a key that only Zone 1 downlinks get, like R for instance. Anyone with   
   the R key can send in an areafix request to add it.   
      
   You could set up a group called myechos and add individual users to that area,   
   as well.   
      
   Hope this helps :)   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
