North American Backbone - Status and Changes
==============================================

BACKSTAT.NA


BACKSTAT.NA is a status report prepared by the North American Backbone
Robot. It is distributed in the BACKBONE file echo and posted in the
Z1_BACKBONE echo. It summarizes BACKBONE additions, deletions and
requests, as well as North American Backbone contacts.

Further information about the North American Backbone's distribution
system can be found in the BOFAQ (North American Backbone Frequently
Asked Questions) file which is updated as required.

[BACKBONE.NA]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone.
Latest at http://cmech.dynip.com/filebase.bbs/fidonet/backbone.na

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[BACKBONE.NO]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone,
that were at one time listed in BACKBONE.NA but no longer have any
coherent activity or any activity at all. Echoes that remain listed in
this file at the next audit, will either get destroyed or returned to
BACKBONE.NA, depending on if they received any traffic. Audits occur
approximately every four to six months.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [ ] Yes [X] No

[BACKBONE.DST]

Roster of message echoes previously listed in BACKBONE.NO, once listed
in here, the echo should be considered no longer in distribution. Consider
the echo at this time destroyed. This file will be dynamic, meaning its
list can grow as time moves on, or even shrink if echoes listed within
are ressurected. Echoes listed here will have to be re-requested as if
brand new.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [ ] Yes [X] No

[ADM] - Administrative Echoes

Echoes with the "[ADM]" notation prefixed to their description will be
exempted from dropping out of the BACKBONE.NA file.

[GNG] - Gated News Groups

Echoes with the "[GNG]" notation prefixed to the description are echoes
designated, or known, to contain content imported from Internet News
groups, Usenet or mailing lists. This notation should afford one the
ability to determine if these areas are suitable for their systems.

============================================================================
5. Special Notes Since Last Update
============================================================================


MODERATORS are reminded to:

* Check their echoes for activity, echoes that sit inactive for Six to
Twelve months, will face the risk of dropping into distribution
limbo. First step is BACKBONE.NO when it still distributable, next
step is BACKBONE.DST, when the echo isnt distributable.

* Check the various BACKBONE files (See Section 4), to make sure your
echoes are listed where you want them to be.

Z1_BACKBONE echo. It summarizes BACKBONE additions, deletions and
requests, as well as North American Backbone contacts.

[BACKBONE.NA]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone.
Latest at http://cmech.dynip.com/filebase.bbs/fidonet/backbone.na

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [X] Yes [ ] No

[BACKBONE.NO]

Roster of message echoes available on The North American Backbone,
that were at one time listed in BACKBONE.NA but no longer have any
coherent activity or any activity at all. Echoes that remain listed in
this file at the next audit, will either get destroyed or returned to
BACKBONE.NA, depending on if they received any traffic. Audits occur
approximately every four to six months.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [ ] Yes [X] No

[BACKBONE.DST]

Roster of message echoes previously listed in BACKBONE.NO, once listed
in here, the echo should be considered no longer in distribution. Consider
the echo at this time destroyed. This file will be dynamic, meaning its
list can grow as time moves on, or even shrink if echoes listed within
are ressurected. Echoes listed here will have to be re-requested as if
brand new.

New Copy Hatched This Release? = [ ] Yes [X] No

[ADM] - Administrative Echoes

Echoes with the "[ADM]" notation prefixed to their description will be
exempted from dropping out of the BACKBONE.NA file.

[GNG] - Gated News Groups

Echoes with the "[GNG]" notation prefixed to the description are echoes
designated, or known, to contain content imported from Internet News
groups, Usenet or mailing lists. This notation should afford one the
ability to determine if these areas are suitable for their systems.

============================================================================
5. Special Notes Since Last Update
============================================================================


MODERATORS are reminded to:

* Check their echoes for activity, echoes that sit inactive for Six to
Twelve months, will face the risk of dropping into distribution
limbo. First step is BACKBONE.NO when it still distributable, next
step is BACKBONE.DST, when the echo isnt distributable.

* Check the various BACKBONE files (See Section 4), to make sure your
echoes are listed where you want them to be.

why wasn't VATICAN moved to backbone.no to be dropped during the next audit?

Seriously? Have you seen a current Backbone.NO anywhere? I decided to deprecate

the old system of moving names around (due to extremely low activity) at the recommendation of the previous NAB Coordinator. Only the Backbone.NA and Backstat.NA are being used/updated, but I apologize for not updating the Backstat.NA comments to reflect this. Now leave me alone lol

audit?

Seriously?

absolutely... i still have it in my distributed backbone file area...

Have you seen a current Backbone.NO anywhere?

i'm not the one tasked with keeping up the files... i do notice when they are updated, though... especially since my system uses them for proper access permissions...

I decided to deprecate the old system of moving names around (due to extremely low activity) at the recommendation of the previous NAB Coordinator.

really? and no discussion at all with any of the three stars that make the current backbone?? seriously?

my distribution setup uses both of the na and no files the way they were intended... areas moved from one to the other result in them being moved from one access group to another as needed... i currently have to manually massage backbone.na into three or four separate files to maintain proper zonal and regional access permissions, though... it isn't very nice to be leaking restricted access echos to the world, ya know... especially as a star hub...

Only the Backbone.NA and Backstat.NA are being used/updated, but I apologize for not updating the Backstat.NA comments to reflect this.
Now leave me alone lol

sure... whatever... i didn't sign on to be a backbone star only to have someone
making unilateral decisions without any discussion with the systems doing the actual work of distribution... no-lol...
