|    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 As in:              ,Node#,System_Name,Location,Sysop_Name,-Unpublished-,300,CM,INA:FQDN,IBN:24556              When I changed the period to a coma in the existing [Node Remap] entry then       BBBS apparently started to then use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.                     Jeff       --- SBBSecho 2.30-Win32        * Origin: Region 14 IP Server - Anoka, MN (1:14/5)    |
