|    BBBS and Point Addresses?    |

      Hello Janis.              17 May 16 12:21, you wrote to me:               JK> Hi Jeff,               >> Has anyone tried to add a point address as a [Node Remap] entry in        >> the External.bbb file and have it work?

BBBS doesn't see the point address.                      JK> Just thinking... did you put the point address in the [nodes] section        JK> or just in the [node remap] section?              I put the point address in the [Nodes] section as well as in the [Node Remap]       section. But BBBS would not call out to the point address. I then tried putting       the point address in a Pointlist but a BNC of the Pointlist didn't include the       point. My syntax of the Pointlist might have contrary to what BBBS was       expecting.       After I added the Point address to the actual nodelist then BNC picked up the       point address and BBBS was able to connect to the point.               JK> In my external.bbb file, the points are listed in the [nodes]        JK> section.. they also may be listed in the remap section but I don't        JK> expect bbbs to dial them.               JK> Take care,        JK> Janis               JK> --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Dada-2        JK> * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38)              Jeff              --- GoldED+/W32-MINGW 1.1.5-b20070503        * Origin: Region 14 IP Server - ftn.region14.org (1:14/5)    |
