   Suppose I asked for that :-)

   That's why it didn't work.

   Either grab a copy of NODELIST.Z88 from somewhere and install that or     
   zip up your existing copy of NODELIST.088(compressed filename MUST be     
   in UPPERCASE(NODELIST.Z88)) and install that.   
      
   Whichever way you do it, you will need to delete everything in     
   OpenXP's FIDO directory and delete "NODELIST.LOG" from OpenXP's LOG     
   directory before you install the compressed nodelist.   
      
   Then poll your uplink and, hopefully, you shouldn't have any problems.   
      
   If everything went well, you need to do similar for the Z2 Pointlist     
   but OpenXP won't automagically configure everything for you this time,     
   you'll need to fill in the missing fields yourself.   
      
   Poll your uplink again and see what happens.   
      
   As for the Private nodelist, I've never used one so I'm not sure what     
   to do with that.   
      
   Regards,
