   Yup. The exact [ftndomains] entries here are:   
      
   [ftndomains]   
      
   ^[1-6]: fidonet   
   ^111: stnnet   
   ^115: pascal-net   
   ^110: linuxnet   
   ^618: micronet   
   ^21: fsxnet

   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   ,100,fsxNet_HUB,Dunedin_NZL,Paul_Hayton,-Unpublished-,300,CM,INA:ipv4.agency.bb   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.

   Yeah. I recall Kim mentioning that too. I'll email you the nodelist that I   
   currently have and am using.
