    KW>> fidonet.net is no longer working, but I think that if you replace   
    KW>> fidonet.net in your config with binkp.net it should resolve.   
      
    TP> Something like this might work. 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...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it
