-
- Echoes in FIDOSTAT.NO will be returned to the FIDONET.NA list upon their
- ELISTing by the moderator. We observe the echoes in which moderator
- updates are listed and will restore FIDONET.NO listed echoes when the
- update message appears. No other action is required.
-
- FIDOSTAT.NA is a weekly information file accumulating these requests.
- Requirements for listing were posted in ZEC, other echoes and in
- FidoNews 911 (FNEWS911.LZH), March 16, 1992. Instructions for ELISTing
- an echo are given in ELMOD0993.ZIP available from Mike Fuchs at 1:1/201
- and many SDS sites.
-
- Moderators requesting addition of their echo to the North American
- Fidonet Echo Backbone should send message of application to "BACKBONE"
- in the ZEC echo. (**Note that ELIST information (minus the password)
- must be posted as part of this message. It is not satisfactory to
- state that echo is ELISTed.) If you do not have access to the ZEC
- echo ask your NEC or REC to post a copy of your message in the ZEC
- echo, or send netmail to 1:290/627. ** Your reply will be the listing
- in FIDOSTAT.NA. **
-
- Echoes not attaining backbone status within one month of their listing
- will be dropped. Moderators may request an extension of 4 weeks.
-
- Applications to the backbone must include and demonstrate that
- A.) There is sufficient traffic for inclusion (in general
- 25 or more messages per week),
- B.) Number of nodes warrants backbone distribution (in
- general 25 or more nodes)
- C.) Seen-by's for purpose of demonstrating point B. and
- showing cross regional distribution.
-
- Applications not showing A, B and C will be considered incomplete
- until the complete application includes that information.
-
- Once an echo attains backbone status it becomes the responsibility of
- the moderator to establish uplinks to the backbone via their NEC/REC/
- HUB. Reasonable precautions should exercised to minimize dupe loops
- while switching feeds to backbone distribution.
-
- Direct questions to Dan Buda in the ZEC echo.

- Each region is "normally" allowed 1 link to each star. Exceptions are
- made with consent of the regions REC, ZEC, and the Star's stated ability
- to handle additional load. Those connecting to the Stars are expected to
- serve as Region level backbone hubs. No nets/nodes are serviced separate
- from their ability and willingness to serve as a regional hub except on
- a local basis. One last reminder, just because you see this list here,
- does not mean that you should abrogate the responsibility to clear your
- links via your respective REC.
