   It would reflect the gating nodes origin on the fidonet side.

   Same answer.   
      
    Wv>>  CP> But my point was actually more to Augusts remarks than yours.   
    Wv>> Telegra   
    Wv>>  CP> groups as they are as a whole is more like a BBS than a mirror.

    CP> It's a method of communicating with Fidonet message areas. I'll leave it

   Which could be summarized as "gating". ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
