Not so much changed, but you'll need to add to your config.

The "ADDRESS" keyword can be used multiple times to specify all of your node numbers:

ADDRESS 4:900/733
ADDRESS <othernet address>

AKAMATCHNET

... and your NETMAIL area definitition shouldn't have any node numbers:

areadef NETMAIL "Fidonet Netmail" B net Jam /path/to/netmail

When you receive a netmail from a non-fidonet node number, and you reply to it with AKAMATCHNET set, it should reply to it with the closest address you have listed in the ADDRESS fields.

If you send a new netmail, you will probably have to manually specify the node number you want to use, but I'm fairly certain that node number needs to be defined with the ADDRESS keyword in order to be able to use it.

Hope that helps.

Nick
