    Hi, Alexander! Recently you wrote in a message to All:

    Just realized from the subject line what you were trying to do here. Yes, your message arrived safe & sound with "Wall" in Vancouver, BC.

    Thanks to Alan Ianson, who occasionally posts in this echo too. :-)

    But I've got some problem with Tommi's gate. It's the only way to get here for me. Many gates don't like echo names which have underline symbol like ENGLISH_TUTOR.

    Bye, Ardith!

    That's most unfortunate. There are some 50 or more echoes that have an underscore in their name, many of them have been in existence for decades. I'm afraid it's up to Tommi to fix his problem, not up to us to change our naming standards. Perhaps there's some other gate you could use?

    Cheers... Dallas

    First of all, the Smapinntpd server here is NOT a gateway. It is a NNTP reader for fidonet msgbase.

    Secondly, I have never heard or experienced of any problems with echos / newsgroups with "_" in the name. So I see nothing to fix.

    Super, thanks Tommi!

    Well, it's complicated. The "gateway" is a dated term now, probably?

    Never seen problems on my end, either.

    Maybe so. I think that "gated" messages pass from one network to another. Like from usenet to fidonet and vice versa.

    That's good. :)

    It would be nice to know what kind of problems you have with underline symbols in echo/group names?

    For testing I created a parallel "english.tutor" group. Just go ahead and use that one in addition to "english_tutor". ;)
