    There are two forms, one for files and the other for message echos and they are different.

    Do a request for the following:

    FILEGATE.ZXX for Files.
    BACKBONE.NA for echos.

    However to save you time here are my one's attached to this msg.

    These are the two you need and FILEGATE.ZXX is updated monthly.
    The other not so much.

    You can obtain it via a freq request to 2:250/1.

    Update:
    BACKBONE.NA is now updated monthly at 23:30 on the 1st of each month and daily if any changes happen in the Elist system ( see echo ELIST ).
    This system produces one of two archives that contains this file amongst others and are sent to file group ECHOLIST. These archives are replacements from any previous created one and NOT accumlative.

    Along with the BACKBONE.NA is BACKBONE.RPT a full detailed listing of all echos as well as a directory containing the rules and one for the descriptions along with other reports for other networks / groups.
