There have been issues lately with the binkp.net resolving fidonet-style 
addresses to an IP address.

You can avoid that by defining the location of a nodelist file on your 
BBS machine, in the [domain] section for Fidonet, in your sbbsecho.ini 
file.

It's documented here:  
https://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbsecho.ini#domain_sections

That way, the calling system can just use the normal domain name for the 
called system as defined by the "INA:" part of the nodelist entry.



.... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
