   Hello Alan.

   It's evident that with me being in Zone 1, binkd either does not recognise the   
   configuration line for that node, quoted below, or some other bizarre   
   circumstance is preventing it from either sending or receiving from that node.   
      
   I fired up Irex again, and it not only sent all the mail waiting for Zone 2   
   but received a TON of .pkts from that node which had apparently been waiting   
   for the last 2 or 3 days since I tried running binkd exclusively.   
      
   Here again is the first line of my binkd.cfg:   
   domain fidonet Q:\\fido_out\\out\\ 1   
      
   And the node's line in the NODES.CFG file:   
   node 2:280/464@fidonet fido.vlzn.nl (password) c   
      
   I also note that on that machine, which is substantially more powerful than   
   this machine, binkd takes up over 96% of the processor, making the other   
   programs and .cmd files quite lethargic.  When it is running on this machine   
   with just the 2 nodes that run on port 24555 (like I mentioned in a previous)   
   message, it barely takes up 2% of the processor's resources. I am in a quandry   
   about what to do with all these irregularities.  Surely I have something   
   configured incorrectly OR the bigger the number of nodes in the NODES.CFG the   
   more idle resources it consumes, which is counterintuitive IMO. I'm obviously   
   missing some point here.   
      
   Best regards,   
   Marc
