But I can't find such a setting in the        TP> config. There's "domains", but they all say "fidonet", not fidonet.net ...              FTN domains are not the same as internet domains... they are akin to       netbios/netbuei domains and are limited to 8 characters... there is some       crossover in a few cases but f.n.z conversion lookups of FTN addresses require       to be told the proper DNS domain to look up the f.n.z address on... in the       case of fidonet, that is now binkp.net because a domain squatter grabbed the       fidonet.net domain years ago and wants too much $$$ for it...              just so you and others reading along understand, a f.n.z conversion looks like       this...               my FTN address: 1:3634/12        converted to f.n.z: f12.n3634.z1              and now it needs an internet domain for the DNS lookup so since it is a       fidonet address, it gets binkp.net tacked on so that it looks like this...               f12.n3634.z1.binkp.net              and the binkp.net DNS will return the currently listed IP or a CNAME or       NXDOMAIN if there's no entry for that address...              )\/(ark              Always Mount a Scratch Monkey       Do you manage your own servers?
