AS such a situation would be here.  When a downlink is added my areafix
automatically assigns certain keys, others would
have to be assigned manually.  IN this way access to groups
can be controled by both the keys possessed and the security level.

SHouldn't be a problem there either, as Mark is an ftsc
member.  Obviously, he's not feeding anyone else, or I'd see the private
distribution echo when I ask his areafix for a
list of locally carried available echoes.  Hence we know
security is intact at his end.  I can attest to that, as
he's my primary feed.
SInce I connect with you also to send fdn files you've
basically been backup feed, as you well know <g>.

I wouldn't think so, from either you or Mark.

JK> is for sure. :)

YEs, since he's binkD capable he sure does, unlike some of
us "dinosaurs"  <g>.

Just seeking some clarification as I've seen two fairly
lengthy threads in the less than six months I've been
connected regarding the ftsc members only echo distribution
topology.

Regards,
