   You just create an echo area and connect with whoever is interested. That's   
   how echoes start.   
      
   If you want the area to be distributed on the backbone and listed in the   
   backbone.na file you need to add the area to the ELIST and then request the   
   area be carried on the backbone in the Z1_BACKBONE area.   
      
   That is the way I did it years ago anyway, AFAIK that is still how it works.

   I don't know of an area like that. You'll either need to create and add a   
   new area or find an existing area where that would be on topic. I can think   
   of a few areas..   
      
   COFFEE_KLATSCH   
   FIDO_SYSOP   
   FN_SYSOP   
   SYSOP   
      
   And there are likely others too but I'm thinking those areas are good   
   targets.
