   Hello Marc,

   In the config you can spevify more than one server address. The server address   
   may be an host name, a literal IPv4 address or a literal IPv6 address encased   
   in square brackets.   
      
   If more than one server address is specifies, they should be seperated by a   
   semicolon.   
      
   * has a special meaning. It means that the binkp.net method is to be used for   
   determining the hostname. See FTS-5004.

   Forget about the flavour. Just leave it out. It only apllies to file boxes.

    ML> The only thing I could think of to put for an address was the 0.0.0.0.   
    ML> Is this correct?   
      
   It does not really matter. It would be more clear to just put a '-' there.   
   Signifying that this node is never called and the line only specifies the   
   password.   
      
   node 1:396/45.27@fidonet - password   
      
    ML> My configuration reads:   
      
    ML> domain fidonet Q:\\fido_out 1   
      
    ML> Not sure that that "1" is for. (?)   
      
   It is the default zone to be used for Fidonet.   
      
   In your case 1, in my case 2.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
