For 2 of my networks, FIDO and Metronet, I have to poll to get       updates. I'm still kind of getting up to speed on all this again, but I think       because I'm a point on FIDO, I have to poll to get messages (maybe not, maybe       it's me). For Metronet, I was asked to poll. For MicroNet, it works like you       described.              Thanks for feedback, guys!              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/05/03 (Windows/64)        * Origin: The Pot O'Gold - bbs.thepotogold.net:4888 (1:229/426.52)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 90/1 105/81 114/709 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 702 229/424 426 428 450 550 664 700 240/5832 249/1       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 282/1038 292/854 301/1 317/3 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 633/280       PATH: 229/426           |
