This is how 4D addressing works. binkd will automatically create the "outb" folder for zone 4, and then the fsxnet folder will be outb.015 > As far as i remember the domains were made compatible for DOS and FAT > 8.3 outbound file name conventions.

Just as well, and in his case, he mixed up the "root-domain" with "domain". The last option should not be 'fidonet' or 'fsxnet'. In Fidonet's case, it should be binkp.net. If fsxnet has a root-domain that can be looked up, that should be there instead. JS>> address 4:900/733@fidonet 21:3/100.2@fsxnet > Above you set the fsxnet zone outbound to zone 4.

Please don't confuse him more than he already is. :/ Regards, Nick ....
