YEp, that's a good method.

YOu and I both mentioned the nodelist substitution method,
crossed in echo traffic <g>.

CAn see how that would work too.  OEN multinode setup I
assisted quite a bit with had one node didn't answer the
phone, and only did dial out during the wee small hours of
the morning, or during the day to exchange mail with me
since I was his feeding hub.
