   Sounds good.

   You need to use the [node_remap] section to dial out with your dialout node   
   for the tcpip nodes, like the following:   
      
   This example is used for 1:393/68:   
      
   ,1:393/68.0,Positronium,Lafayette_LA,Ben_Ritchey,cmech.dynip.com,300,CM,XX,BND   
      
   I usually copy the line from the nodelist, add the "," and .0, etc. as above.   
      
   node2 over here is my dialout node, so in ./bcfg4 2, I set the this up to dial   
   out:   
      
   bcfg4 2 ->Local:General->   OK poll flags: (BND|IP|ITX)   
      
   That way it will dial out to a node with any one of those flags set in the   
   [node remap] section.   
      
   >> You don't have to run all of bbbs's daemons of course, I don't run them all   
   >> .   
      
   >I plan to run just fidonet and maybe a few selected qwk networks. None of that

   Ok :)

   Sounds good :)

   >I was able to query aeafix on my uplink node and the reply came in as expected   
      
   Great, good progress.   
      
   >One more question: is it possible to change the polling interval of the daemon

   I have a number of downlinks set to Crash since that's the way they prefer   
   it... i.e., as soon as mail comes in, those crash nodes get it.  You can   
   probably set up events in the event-manager for a timed schedule...   
      
   That's also in ./bcfg4 (node number) Local: Events   
      
   Take care,
