   mark lewis seems to ahve covered most in his post but I'll add my two cents.   
      
      
    Jo> I am setting up Fidonet on SBBS. I hav successfully imported areas.bbs   
    Jo> and all looks good in the BBS. I have Binkdwin setup and it polls my   
    Jo> uplink ok. My problem appears to be packing/unpacking mail.   
      
    Jo> When I run SBBSECHO -LINF, it complains "unrecognized internal code,   
    Jo> assumed passthrough".   
      
   IF you are using version 3 of sbbsecho, you no longer need to use the -LINF as   
   everything those options do is not defaulted.  To get a list of the options   
   now, in a cmd prompt, type: sbbsecho -?   
      
      
    Jo> Here is the format of one echoarea in c:\sbbs\exec\areas.bbs:   
      
   Your areas.bbs should be in the ../sbbs/data folder.   
      
    Jo> FIDO_SYNCSYSO  SYNC_SYSOPS 1:3828/7   
      
    Jo> This appears to have been imported to c:\sbbs\ctrl and now reads:   
      
    Jo> /sbbs/echomail\FIDO_SYNCSYSO  SYNC_SYSOPS 1:3828/7   
      
   When you create the different echomail folders in SCFG, they are saved to the   
   folder ../sbbs/data/subs   
      
      
    Jo> What am I missing that will get sbbsecho to scan, pack and unpack?   
      
   So in review, make sure you created the correct echo group using SCFG under   
   Message Areas, Set the internal code (which as mark pointed out seems to be   
   FIDO), inport the *.NA file and then edit each of the sub-boards that were   
   imported...   
      
   Here are my screens..   
      
   Group (notice the internal code. I use 2, you use Fido)

   Make sure in ECHOCFG you tell it where ALL the netmail, incoming and outgoing   
   folders are.   
      
   That should do it..   
      
   Enjoy...
