   I know this. But the way I'm describing it only needs the downlink part of the   
   description. I'm talking about the mail I'm receiving here sometimes comes in   
   perfect (like your last message to me with the umlauted character, came through   
   just fine). With putting MY node into the equation, that would only be an   
   uplink problem (ie: someone that assists in the process of getting mail down   
   the line to me).

   I get what you're saying here too. For example, if a sysop sent an umlauted   
   character to his/her NC, and the NC couldn't process it correctly, it would end   
   up at Janis's system already messed up. Then again, I was only referring to   
   right here on my system, to which I suppose _everyone_ would be an uplink to   
   me. :)

   I must get echomail through random paths, though. Because sometimes high ascii   
   gets here just fine, and other times it doesn't. Yet ALL mail routes through   
   Janis and the stars, correct?    
      
   LOL, for some reason I thought about Benny and the Jets when saying Janis and   
   the stars. :)
