   Configure an echolist in echocfg->EchoList for each network and set "Required   
   Key" to unique value for each (e.g. "FIDO" for Zone 1 and "FSX" for Zone 2)   
   and then give the appropriate key to each point in echocfg->Linked Nodes.   
      
   Also, make sure you have echocfg->EchoMail->Allow Nodes to Add Areas from Area   
   File to "No".

   Nothing special. But those message areas aren't going to be in official echoes   
   in any zone you're a part of, so make sure you're not sending any DOVE-Net   
   messages that receive via QWK upstream to your FTN uplinks.   
      
    > How might I be able to read / reply to areas that do not have a matching ftn

   If the subs are in your area file, you should be able to read/reply to them   
   via a linked FTN node.
