I am confused on how to add other message boards like AmigaNet; HobbyNet, etc. I know about running in init-fidonet.ini and selecting the correct number. After, that I am not sure what to do. Sorry, I am new and maybe a stupid ?.

Are there any notes somewhere on how to setup fsx net on synchronet? I did not see any in the "wiki". I saw your screen name in a series called back to
the bbs. He mentioned you by name. It was a show talking about message networks on bbs systems.

Use the init-fidonet.js script as detailed here: https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:fidonet
But choose fsxNet in the initial prompt.

I got the message base working. I am confused on the file area part.
Where and how do I add file part for the Node and Info pack. I was told need to make two files.

got it working for amiganet. Hobby net the files goin into fido/unimported folder so obviously something I have wrong but don't know what.
when I send a filefix to hub I add +HNET_INFO and HNET_NODE. Am I missing something here?

I tried another Netmail AmigaNet same thing. I made a file directory
named it AmigaNet and sent a filefix to hub. I got response back said
it was imported but to where? I don't see it. very strange as it says getting AMYLIST echoed. I am at a loss.

init-fidonet.ini is just a data file for use by init-fidonet.js. So you run init-fidonet.js, not init-fidonet.ini.
Depending on the network you're joining, if they have an echolist available for download, the script will automatically download the echolist and import it into SCFG for you.
That's what this step is: "Download and import an EchoList (list of FidoNet message areas) in SCFG->Message Areas" and it's automated when running init-fidonet.js, you'll get prompted (if the echolist is retrievable via http or https) if you want to download and install it. Just answer 'Y' to that prompt.

I am setting up FSXNET myself right now. I do not want to set up FIDONET yet. Do I make FSXNET my main? I know you have main and aka. Do I have to run fidoin and fidoout if I am not using fido net to start?
I noticed I got
a bunch of message packets from FSXNET and they are sitting in my inbound folder. How do I get them to propagate into the actual message area?
I got
my node ID from FSXnet and the fsxnet.na file came in just fine. I used the javascript setup which works really well btw. If I try to run FIDOIN and FIDOUT right now I get a message from windows that the program has encountered a problem and must shut down and I have to hit OK to a screen prompt.
I ran the init-fidonet and getting this after:
BINKPOLL Connection to f2.n895.z954.example.com:24554 failed (Error: No such host is known. ).

Yes. And the init-fidonet script enables those timed events for you, automatically.
SBBSecho is the utility that does this. It's called a "tosser" (or tosser/scanner or EchoMail program). SBBSecho is normally run via the FIDOIN and FIDOOUT timed events (which are also triggered via semaphore file, e.g. from your FTN mailer, e.g. BinkIT).
That's definitely unexpected. This sounds similar to your SEXYZ problem. Again, I suggest updating your version of SBBSecho to the lateset and greatest and let us know if the problem persists.
