I have configured the FidoNet address,       NetMail and EchoMail directories, and created the required FIDOTEST sub-board       in SCFG.              Before proceeding with nodelist processing and EchoMail exchange, I would       appreciate confirmation that my setup follows the expected standards for a new       node, as well as any advice about prerequisites for formally joining a Fidonet       region or zone.              If there is a specific coordinator or contact I should reach out to for node       application, routing details, or policy compliance, please let me know.              Thank you in advance for any guidance.              Dimitri Papadopoulos       GREEK TIMES BBS              ---        þ Synchronet þ The Montreal Greek Times BBS Û GreekTimes.ca        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 10/0 1 13/0 102/401 103/1 13 17 705 105/81 106/201 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 128/187 129/14 153/7715 154/110 214/22 218/0 1 215 601 700       SEEN-BY: 218/840 860 880 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 206 317 400 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 470 700 705 266/512 280/464 291/111 301/1 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 218/700 229/426           |
