Any thoughts?                     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.               ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.43        * Origin: ----------Do Not Fold, Spindle or Mutilate.---------- (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 226/30 227/114 229/101 426 664 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 317 400 292/854 317/3 322/757 342/200       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/101 426           |
