    Sn>  1 Now it just to tidy up the aka   
      
    BM> OK...   
      
    Sn> Does this have any think to do with cleaning up AKAs   
      
    Sn> #hide-aka 2:5020/999.* !2:*@fidonet      # hide aka from all but fido

    Sn> or is only my AKAs   
      
   No, don't worry about the HIDE-AKA area.  Leave them all commented out for now.   
      
      
    Sn>  2 so it won't poll whispnet\league10 as the pkts fidonet whispnet   
    Sn> league10   
    Sn>    came from 1:340/400 like if I do binkd -P 1:340/400 Binkd, tries to   
    Sn> poll 10:10/1   
      
   OK.. you can put a ROUTE-TO statement in your sbbsecho cfg.  Add it manually   
   till you get the binkd style nodelists..   
      
   ROUTE-TO 1:340/400 10:* 316:*   
      
    BM> OK... one of two ways you can handle this.  Get a binkd style nodelist   
    BM> from the league10 coordinator and add the following:   
    BM> include \\league10.txt   
      
   This is the only drawback on what I told you above.  Your games have nothing to   
   do with sbbsecho as they create their own files and *.MSG.  Once you get the   
   league10 nodelist, remove the 10:* from your sbbsecho.cfg ROUTE-TO statement.   
      
    Sn> I am getting a binkd.txt from my Rob but h does't have league10.txt   
    Sn> and maybe to whispernet.txt I have to ask jon.   
      
   I have nothing to do with league10 but I'll send you over the whispnet.txt   
   binkd style nodelist I ahve here.  The latest one I have is from day 50.    
      
    Sn> when I poll 10:10/1@league10 I get this   
      
    Sn> + 24 Mar 02:17:25 [4836] addr: 24:140/2@sportnet (n/a or busy)   
    Sn> ? 24 Mar 02:17:25 [4836] called 10:10/1@league10, but remote has no   
    Sn> such AKA + 24 Mar 02:17:25 [4836] done (to 10:10/1@league10, failed,   
    Sn> S/R: 0/0 (0/0 bytes))   
      
    Sn> but if I poll 1:340/400 I get all league10 game files and   
    Sn> fidonet.league10 and whispernet echo.pkt it I poll 316:771/1whispernet   
    Sn> it work fine but not league10 when I poll it   
      
   Probably has you setup with a session password...    
      
      
    BM> Or you can add a folder after the node entry for 1:340/400 and use a   
    BM> batch file to move your game files to that folder. Example:.   
      
    BM> move /y 046b*.* c:\fd\league46   
    BM>         ^^^^^^^. ^^^^^^^^^^^^   
    BM> .FileName   Folder   
      
    BM> This will move the file from your game folder to what is called a   
    BM> mailbox. Ehen binkd sees a file in that folder it will automatically   
    BM> poll that address.   
      
    Sn> not sure of this one do you mean ie   
      
    Sn> node 10:10/1@league10 -md time.synchro.net password c   
    Sn> d:\bbs\fd\league46 and move the files there  shouldn't be league10 just   
    Sn> woundering   
      
   I am assuming your running BRE and FE.  Just make a drop off folder say:   
   c:\league10 and have your batch file that run the game move the file to that   
   folder.  Here is mine...   
      
   @echo off   
   cd c:\sbbs\xtrn\bre46   
   bre request   
   bre planetary   
   bre scores   
   bre bbsinfo   
   bre recon   
      
   cd c:\sbbs\xtrn\bre46\outbound  .   
      
      
   Now, you entry in binkd.cfg would look like (I'm using league10 as your folder   
   name):   
      
   NODE 10:10/1@league10 -md time.synchro.net  c c:\league10   
      
   For all this to work you're going to need the league10 nodelist OR add the   
   following to either your fido OR whispnet nodelist:   
      
   Node 10:10/1@league10	time.synchro.net	-   
      
   The - at the end is important.     
      
   If you do it this way, remove the 10:* from your sbbsecho.cfg ROUTE statment.    
      
      
      
    Sn>  3 get netmail to work to go via binkd   
      
    BM> OK... sbbsecho needs to convert the *.msg into a .cut file. That will   
    BM> happen when you run FIDOOUT.   
      
      
    Sn>   yes it does do that but binkd doesn't send it, I see the message   
    Sn> inside .cut   
    Sn>   but there must be a setting wrong or samething.   
      
   What does you logs say?  Is it putting it in the right outbound folder?    
      
      
    Sn>  4 get the Ibbs games pkts to go via binkd   
      
    BM> This was explained above regarding using the move command.   
      
    Sn>   okay I see read that but when i ran fidoout I noticed that there   
    Sn>   was a .cut file in a outbound dir of all the game pkt ready to be   
    Sn> sent   
    Sn>   but wouldn't send that as will with dir as well  if we can get   
    Sn> netmail   
    Sn>   to work, then mayby will beable to send  games pkt as that way as   
    Sn> well.   
      
   Creatinga an outbound send box will take care of that.  Just make sure in your   
   game cfg, to make a dummy netmail folder.  It's not needed anymore to send the   
   game pkts   
      
      
    Sn>  5 setup 2 other node to poll   
      
    BM> when mail is tossed by sbbsecho, it creates a *.*LO file and puts it in   
    BM> the correct outbound folder.  Binkd will see this file and poll.  If   
    BM> you want to create a timed poll to get mail then use sbbs timed event   
    BM> and create a batchfile to move a zero byte file to the correct outbound   
    BM> folder.  You'll need a txt editor and name the blank file: 01540190.CLO   
    BM>  Move it using the /y switch to your OUTBOUND.001 folder.   
      
    Sn> no I don't want to use sbbs time event, I just useing the binkd -C   
    Sn> binkd.cfg for all, 2 poll other nodes is that I meant like a new node   
    Sn> like 1:229/426 for usenet.   
      
   OK.. lost me there.  You'll get the hang of the different things you can do   
   with binkd and Synch.  Just relax and think about it. :)
