Or is this a theoretical problem? ;)               CN>> Theoretical. :-)               WV> I think non-CM in combination with IBN, most of the time is an error        WV> in the nodelist. I never found a non-CM + IBN node that was actually        WV> just connectable at ZMH. And it doesn't make sense either.              A non-CM node doesn't have to be a ZMH-only node. As you know, it can carry       the ,Tyz flag.       A sysop may not want or need to have her system running 24 hours a day, for       whatever reason.               CN>> Besides non-CM nodes, it could be useful for points...               WV> Points that are not CM, should just poll their boss. ;-)              IMO a boss and a point can make their connections in any way they agree...       (Also, the point can be the sysop.)               CN>> I'm testing this with a CM link (renaming to .HLO just after        CN>> tossing, and after packing netmail) and works fine.               WV> Then you are just lucky, because no .?SY files are used, binkd could        WV> just grab the .?LO file, and do it's thing before your scripts rename        WV> them to .HLO...              I may do some more tests, to see if can be less lucky... :-)              Carlos              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: cyberiada point (2:341/234.1)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 114/705 709 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/120 131 124/5016 129/305 331 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0       SEEN-BY: 218/700 840 220/70 221/0 6 226/17 227/114 229/110 111 112       SEEN-BY: 229/113 200 206 275 317 424 426 428 470 550 664 700 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 250/5 8 266/512 267/800 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 292/8125 298/25 301/1 305/3 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 100 340 772/210 220 230 2452/250       PATH: 341/234 280/464 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
