   BBBS Polling?   
   10 Apr 16 16:43:43   
   
   Hello Janis,   
      
   Ummm... I might of spoke too soon. If I comment out the [Node Remap] entry   
   and let BBBS parse the node info from the nodelist itself. The poll loop   
   continues until I delete the poll using the BBBS Outbound Manager. If I    
   enter the same nodelist data into the [Node Remap] entry for that node then   
   BBBS stops loop polling that node. It should be noted that this is not a   
   Fidonet node or nodelist. I have compared the existing nodelist entry   
   format to Fidonet's and other than the FTN address the format appears to    
   be the same. As in:   
      
   ,Node#,System_Name,Location,Sysop_Name,-Unpublished-,300,CM,INA:FQDN,IBN:24556   
      
   When I changed the period to a coma in the existing [Node Remap] entry then   
   BBBS apparently started to then use the [Node Remap] data instead of the   
   nodelist data. Even though the actual data is the same. I actually cut and   
   pasted the nodelist data over and then checked it again to make sure the   
   entry data was the same.
