   Janis,   
   I tried what you're suggesting here, but it didn't work for me.  I currently   
   have the following (which seems to work, but uses a node_remap):   
   local->general->OK_poll_flags: (BND|IBN|ITX|IP) local->modem->dial:   
   ~ATR | ,IBN   
   ~ATD | ,IP   
   ~ATD | ,ITN   
      
   node_remap:   
   ,1:153/7715.0,BandMaster.tzo.com,Vancouver_BC,Irex_Hinton,bandmaster.tzo.com,30   
   0,CM,MO,IBN:bandmaster.tzo.com   
      
   If I change these to your suggestion and remove my node_remap for 1:153/7715,   
   then try polling 1:153/7715, I get a "can't find phone number" error.   
      
   This was probably the most frustrating part trying to get BBBS set up because   
   of a lack of documentation in this area. My existing setup is a mishmash of   
   what I've found in the forums plus trial and error.   
      
   I'd appreciate any suggestions from you as to what I might be doing wrong and   
   what I can improve.   
      
   Thanks :)   
      
   Ian
