The exact [ftndomains] entries here are:              [ftndomains]              ^[1-6]: fidonet       ^111: stnnet       ^115: pascal-net       ^110: linuxnet       ^618: micronet       ^21: fsxnet                > If you do, then post the line from the othernet nodelist for this node here,        > or send it me in netmail or email.              The nodelist entry is:              ,100,fsxNet_HUB,Dunedin_NZL,Paul_Hayton,-Unpublished-,300,CM,INA:ipv4.agency.bb       s.geek.nz,IBN:24556              This entry works when used in the [Node Remap] section but not when BBBS reads       the same data from the nodelist.               > Also, IIRC Kim said that this feature (reading the nodelist) should work for        > a lot of internet nodes but might not work for all of them.
