   I bet that is exactly why it failed for us in WinPoint.  I assumed that     
   WinPoint would automatically create the network particulars just like it     
   does the echo areas when something arrives.   
      
   Creating an uplink entry *first* before tossing makes sense.  I guess we     
   wouldn't want WinPoint to blindly accept every pkt or bundle that it     
   receives.  It's a good thing that the "unknown" .pkts are moved out of the     
   way.   
      
   BUT..  Apoint doesn't seem to care!  ;)  The only thing I see failing in     
   Apoint would be the building of outbound bundles to the proper Boss node.      
   In which case, that should probably be configured before Exporting any new     
   messages created locally.
