   I've added dovenet sub-boards and I'm getting content, but cannot seem to post.   
      
   Also have gotten alt.bbs exported.   
      
   But my postings fail. The point software doesn't show problem, but I get    
   a security violation on the BBS side.

   I'm not sure where the problem is. Here are entries for these sub-boards from   
   area.bbs   
      
   DOVE-GENERAL    DOVE-GENERAL    1:3634/58       1:3634/58.1337   
      
   USENET_ALTBBS   alt.bbs 1:3634/58       1:3634/58.1337   
      
   Are these incorrect, or is there other things that need to be defined to allow   
   the BBS itself to be the "uplink/hub" for the sub-board?   
      
   ...People like criticism...just keep it positive and flattering.
