Do you have an FTN address assigned yet? If you do, then you configure that
address in SCFG->Networks->FidoNet->Address. If you have chosen a FidoNet
mailer and have it installed and configured, then simply using the (E)mail ->
(N)etmail menu option from the BBS (terminal server), you should be able to
send a netmail message to your hub (e.g. "sysop@your-hubs-FTN-address" and ask
 for confirmation of receipt.

If that works, then you can ask if your hub supports remote Area manager (aka
AreaFix) requests, agree on a password to use for AreaFix and start sending
those requests via NetMail, e.g.

To: areafix@your-hubs-FTN-address
Subj: <your-areafix-password>

Body: %HELP

You should get an automated reply message telling you the available areafix
messages (e.g. %LIST, %+ALL, etc.) and you can send more requests to add/remove
 echo areas using the supported areafix commands.
