   I suspect very few people know that, because it isn't specified in the   
   Echolist documentation afaik. ;)   
      
   I do read in ECHOBASE.MOD:   
      
        Group (GROUP) -       This is an abbreviated network affiliation   
               word.  This will prefix the TITLe field (in   
               parentheses) in the FIDONET.NA list of   
               echoes, and may be used in grouping echoes   
               and distributing network-specific lists   
               among other things.  In FamilyNet, the   
               standard abbreviations in use include:   
                 FMLY - FamilyNet   
                 FIDO - FIDONet   
                 CCI  - Canadian Christian Interchange   
                 CCN  - Counter Cult Network   
                 CDN  - Christian Distribution Net   
                 CFN  - Christian Fellowship Net   
                 CFC  - Computers for Christ Net   
                 MJCN - Messianic Jewish Computer Network   
                 UCCN - United Christian Communications Network   
      
   Do all these nets still exist, btw?   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
