    Who is the 'go-to' guy when you need help with FastEcho these days? Just simple questions, but without answers, I can't get it running.

    Thanks

    post your questions here... toby is still around but he is not very active at all... he is issuing registration keys and that's really about it...

    so what is your question/problem with FE?

    When I try to import the Echolist or the Areas.BBS it asks for backbone.na or fidonte.na, both of which are no longer in use. I've tried using filegate.zxx, but I get an error.

    i haven't heard that... why would you think backbone.na is no longer in use?? it is only updated when necessary and these days, that may be a year or longer... it depends on when echos are added to the NAB and others may be removed...

    i use backbone.na here on my FE... i have my setting in FE pointing to the file
    area where backbone.na lands when it is hatched and arrives on my system...

    I've tried using filegate.zxx, but I get an error.

    because filegate.zxx is for tic/raid/allfix... it is not message areas but file
    areas...

    You can get BACKBONE.NA from any Fido connected BBS usually.
