Do a %HELP command to get back a list of valid commands and switches,
and save/print that for future reference.

Thanks! I didnt realize I needed to add the base on a seperate line.
Areafix for Micronet(Fastecho) is a bit different than wjat I'm used to.

For some software, like if your hub is running Synchronet, I have found
that %RESCAN works best if sent in separate message after you add the echo.
If you try to add and then rescan in the same message, in that order, for
some reason it will process the rescan first anyway and tell you that you
are not subscribed. Then it will process the add even though you had it at
the top of the message.

At least that is my experience.

Thanks. I'll have to remember that.

There are slight differences in AreaFix handling in the various FTN software packages. I agree with Dan; when you first connect to a new network do an AreaFix request for %HELP. That should give you instructions and probably examples of how your link's system needs requests to be formatted for correct processing.

You need to contact your hub, Andrew Leary. This messag doesn't belong here.
