Mark, this is actually no longer true. The MX record for *.z3.fidonet.org
now points to an Australian host. Mail for fidonet sites on zone 3
is passed into NET 632 in Melbourne on demand. 

Probably the only time that zeta could deliver faster, would be if the 
fidonet site was in Sydney. ie: NETS 71* etc. It would really depend on 
processing at zeta.
