   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.
