EchoCfg is a text-mode full-screen utility for the Synchronet FidoNet Packet Tosser, [[module:binkit]]. | EchoCfg is a text-mode full-screen utility for the Synchronet FidoNet Packet Tosser, [[util:SBBSecho]]. |

EchoCfg's primary function is the modification of the SBBSecho configuration file, ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:sbbsecho.ini]]'' (or a file by a different name, but with the same format and purpose). While it is perfectly valid and sometimes preferable to modify the SBBSecho configuration file (''sbbsecho.ini'') by hand (i.e. using an ASCII text editor), it is recommended that sysops new to SBBSecho use EchoCfg first. | EchoCfg's primary function is the modification of the SBBSecho configuration file, ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:sbbsecho.ini]]'' (or a file by a different name, but with the same format and purpose).

If you will be using a configuration file with SBBSecho **other** than the default (''ctrl/sbbsecho.ini''), then you'll need to pass the path and filename of that configuration file to EchoCfg each time you invoke this utility (same as with SBBSecho). Normally, the default configuration file name is fine, ever for multiple FTNs, but some sysops like to separate their FTNs into multiple completely separate SBBSecho configurations with different configuration files. Overriding the default configuration filename allows this flexibility. | If you will be using a configuration file with SBBSecho **other** than the default (''ctrl/sbbsecho.ini''), then you'll need to pass the path and filename of that configuration file to EchoCfg each time you invoke this utility (same as with SBBSecho).
