   That's what Fidonet is. But there is no need to struggle with problems that   
   the stoneage already solved. Even those solutions are still stoneaged. ;)

   That was done already when you use stoneaged software. If there are routing   
   troubles then the software is old enough that this troubles would be known.   
      
    MJ> How do I check this without inspecting the packet ?   
      
   You could see it in the outbound directories itself or in the logfiles if your   
   software tries to connect to another system.

   That's exactly what i was talking about, i don't need a hammer if there is   
   nothing to hammer. It's common to have no hammer if there is no need to hammer   
   anything.

   Which one?   
      
   And how many hours would you need for such a project?
