   The register key I got from Kim is a 2 node key so it is if it will works.   
   Now have I set bbbs test point 2:230/150.151 to have 2:230/150 in use.   
   And the point.bat file is doing this:   
   cd to first log dir   
   if exist *.log del *.log   
   cd \1pnt\bbbs   
   bbbs bmsg r   
   bbbs bmsg w   
   cd\1pnt\binkd   
   binkd -cp -P 2:230/150 \1pnt\etc\binkd.cfg   
   cd \1pnt\bbbs   
   bbbs bogus r   
   bbbs bogus w   
   bbbs btick   
   bcfg4 bad   
   bbbs bogus b   
      
   Binkd use same inbound and outbound as bbbs using so no move of files from dir   
   to dir.   
   Binkd have just this little problem that it not for the point like to send the   
   mail in outbound to 2:230/150 but getting it files, so if I by command line   
   could see if bbbs is connect and give the mail to uplink.   
      
      
     Take care,   
               Gert
