Thanks for taking the time to give me an overview of the whole distribution 
process.

I am interested in establishing a gateway between FidoNet and Usenet (but 
not to distribute this echo, which is already passing through a gateway). 
I asked the question here because of all echoes I carry, FIGHTBELL seems to 
be distributed across the widest variety of networks.

Thanks for your response- I appreciate it!
