   If you can't pack and scan for 30:30/99, then it probably shouldn't even be in   
   your tosser's configuration. Is this something you're doing with IREX or some   
   such?   
      
   I'm fairly sure you should pack your netmail before you try to scan it out.   
   Although, some tossers (like HPT for example), you can enable a configuration   
   option "PACKNETMAILONSCAN" so you don't have to use both commands, but I don't   
   know if FastEcho has that option or not.   
      
   You don't need "via". This is what setting 1:229/426 (1:* 2:* 3:* 4:*) already   
   does. Any node number in zone 1-4 will go to Nick Andre first. And if you want   
   to add any direct links for Fidonet, they need to be added /before/ 1:229/426   
   in order to work properly.   
      
   Most tossers read a routing table from top to bottom. So if Nick's entry is   
   first, no other entries for 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* will work properly.   
      
   While it seems like you're ultimately confused as to how your tosser works, at   
   this point, you should probably start over with Fidonet, and just have   
   1:229/426 as a link, and route 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* through it.   
      
   Once you've done that, and it works properly, then you can add direct links   
   and/or other route links one at a time while making sure they work before   
   moving on to the next. If you don't need direct links or other routes, then   
   leave it alone with the one Fidonet link, and let Nick's system send any/all   
   of your echomail and netmail where it needs to go. He kinds knows what he's   
   doing. ;)   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
