    DM> Is it possible those areas are listed as pass-through in your area file   
    DM> (areas.bbs)? So far, that's the only explanation I can come up with.   
      
   Yes, all subs except one are listed as pass through but once a node's address   
   is listed, should sbbsecho see they're linked?  Should I remove the sportnet.na   
   file and just have them use the areas.bbs?
