Thanks, I'll give that option a try and see.  

I have my D'Bridge hub feeding a few nodes echomail and I have a feeling they 
are no longer around.  Just investigating options for "housekeeping".

WWIV/WWIVnet has an option that I use to check on that side.  //PENDING shows 
the total size of the pending packet and when the last time the node connected. 
 
The big reason why I asked this question is because in the very near future, my 
D'Bridge hub will be feeding WWIVnet-FTN.  :)  I have everything in place now 
so that WWIVnet will no longer be WWIV only.  Will announce more on that later.
