   So I think I found it - and IMHO a bug.   
      
   I looked at lib/getheader.c, and and in getheader() I dont see where it    
   handles   
    auxNet if origNet = 0xffff.   
      
   As per http://bbsdev.net/fsp/FSP-1040.txt, it states   
   >> When parsing a   
   >> Type 2+ packet, if origNet is 65535, the software MUST use the   
   >> value from the auxNet field.   
      
   So I put in this    
      
       if (capword & 0x0001) {   
      
         if (f->net == 65535) {   
             Syslog('+', "Point Packet  : %d to %d", f->net, t->net);   
             f->net   = buffer[0x26] + (buffer[0x27] << 8);   
             Syslog('+', "Net Changed   : %d to %d", f->net, t->net);   
         }   
      
   And my packet was accepted by my node:

   I havent check if this point handling is handled anywhere else though - but   
   could this be a fix? Is sharing that here enough for it to be reviewed?   
      
   BTW: It seems the sourceforge code repositoriy is back level (1.0.7.3) -   
   whereas the download zip file is 1.0.7.6?
