fsxNet Echomail Areas
fsxNet contains a number of Echomail message areas that you can configure your BBS to take part in.
Think of Echomail as public message bases, often focused on a particular topic(s), shared between between fsxNet member BBS.
| Echoarea | Description |
|---|---|
| FSX_TST | Test messages and other experimentation is welcome here! Messages using the subject of ‘Test’ should receive an automated response from a roBOT. Humans can also appear magically with reports too. |
| FSX_GEN | A general discussion echoarea covering many topics. |
| FSX_MYS | Mystic BBS discussions, support and development. |
| FSX_MAG | Talisman BBS + Magicka BBS discussions, support and development. |
| FSX_BBS | BBS software, development and support. |
| FSX_ENG | ENiGMA 1/2 BBS discussions, support and development. |
| FSX_HAM | Amateur Radio discussions. Covers all aspects of HAM radio including DX, HF, VHF/UHF, various digital modes etc. |
| FSX_CRY | Cryptographic discussion and experimentation. Public key sharing, encoded messages, testing etc. is welcome here. |
| FSX_NET | Discussions about fsxNet. Administrative news and other network operations announcements (new nodes etc.) are posted here. This is also the best place to discuss ideas and plans for fsxNet and how to best implement them. |
| FSX_ESP | Espanol General Chat. This echoarea offers a place for Spanish language conversations. It is a general discussion echoarea covering many topics. Test messages and other experimentation is welcome. |
| FSX_ADS | BBS and NETwork Ads. Run a BBS you want to tell the world about? Use a roBOT or manually post your BBS ASCII / ANSI ads here. Please don’t post the same thing more than once a week (7 days). Let’s keep it ‘minty fresh’ - too much of the same thing usually ends in a diet :) |
| FSX_BOT | We welcome non-human roBOT output here. Gated or original content (e.g. weather, telemetry, entertainment etc.) lives here. BBS ads (FSX_ADS) , echomail stats (FSX_STA) or file announcements (FSX_FIL) live elsewhere. |
| FSX_STA | Echomail + Network Stats. The echoarea for roBOT posts about echomail area stats, BBS mailer traffic and gateway activity. FTN network stats / reports are also posted here. Some people read them cover to cover while others like horoscopes better :) |
| FSX_FIL | File Announcements. I like files, you like files, we all like files! This echoarea contains roBOT posts covering files received by fsxNet member BBS or files hatched from fsxNet HUBS to the wider community. |
| FSX_DAT | InterBBS Data. An echomail area used by software such as InterBBS Oneliner or Double-Up (both by Darryl Perry) to send inter-BBS data between nodes in fsxNet. In most cases the data is not readable or of interest to human eyes. Sysops may wish to hide this echo from BBS users. |
| FSX_GAMING | Anything gaming related is on-topic here. From electronic to board games, action, adventure and role-playing, to simulations, strategy, sports and puzzles. This forum covers everything gaming related including MUDs, first-person shooters, real-time strategy, massively multiplayer online games, console wars, hints, tips and tricks and more. |
