   Yes, that's what I meant :-)

   I have to admit that it *is* rather confusing, which is brought about by the   
   wording. IMO, "Systems" should read "BossNodes" but I'm struggling to think of   
   a replacement for "Fidostyle Uplinks". When you set up a new Point AKA, you   
   should configure "Systems" first and then "Fidostyle Uplinks". Methinks it   
   would have been better to roll them up into a single tabbed configuration item.
