   Hello Martin,   
      
    MF>> - Adding an archiver to the list of archivers doesn't work   
            
   ..haven't tried that, but maybe arrangements can be made with the Boss to send   
   packets unpacked? Mine is configured *without* an archiver because my Boss   
   assured me the message packets can be sent as-is.

    MF> anything.   
      
      
   Oh no.  You mean using the "mailboxen" added to the Poll list, but using a   
   differnet "other:net/node.point"?   
      
   But if Winpoint can utilize a nodelist that uses zones 1,2,3,4 etc.  It ought   
   to have no problem using the othernet numbers ..as long as they are combined   
   into one big nodelist.  ???   
      
   Or.. were you just Polling direct after entering the othernet addresses?   
      
   I think Winpoint assumes just one fixed zone:net/node.point address for you,   
   the user - based on the Setup process.  After this setup, there doesn't seem   
   to be a way to change .point address later unless we go the Setup as if for   
   the first time installation.   
      
   But, maybe you can work with multiple Winpoint installations - one for each   
   othernet?
