Huzzah! Finally, I got into BBSing. It's been only like 25 years or so...

I also talked to a Fido Hub and got a new Node assigned after I configured my Synchronet instance and networking accordingly.

Now what...?

(1) Configuring Fido Points
When using OpenXP to call my own Node, I assume I need to configure a Point (like .1) for myself as currently the one and only (yeaaaah... nobody I'd rather be.. lol) point. But: How do I do this?

(2) Configuring Areas (polling, providing)
Also:
My hub notified me that he already subscribed me to pretty much every area there is... however, how do I receive them?

(3) Using an Area Manager
Last but not least:
When trying to drop a notifier to Areafix (from OpenXP when calling "As Node"), in Synchronet I receive a mail telling me about this request but being unable to serve it as it is not configured for Areafix commands. How can I fix this?

Please bear with me, although I was calling into BBSes in the 90's and using Fidonet, this is the first time, I dig into really making sense of it and maybe even provide services to others. So I want to learn first. ;-)

Your help is greatly appreciated!
