   12 Sep 2022 10:23, you wrote to me:   
      
    CN>>>> How would you do (or are you doing) to make binkd only poll a   
    CN>>>> non-CM node at its open hours?   
      
    WV>>> Do you have a non-CM link? 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... :-)
