   I thought about doing it this way, but I have too many othernets to poll, so   
   they won't all fit in the shell line.  In that case I have to resort to a bash   
   script:   
      
   === Start poll.sh ===   
   #!/bin/bash   
   export mysticbbs=/home/pi/mystic   
   cd /home/pi/mystic   
   ./mis poll 1:229/426   
   ./mis poll 21:3/100   
   ./mis poll 618:500/1   
   ./mis poll 25:25/0   
   ./mis poll 3:770/1   
   ./mis poll 2:221/6   
   ./mis poll 21:1/10   
   ./mis poll 80:774/1   
   ./mis poll 77:3/1   
   ./mis poll 954:895/1   
   ./mis poll send   
   ./mutil mailin.ini   
   === End poll.sh ===   
      
   But then we also loose any of the efficiency of ./mis poll forced where it   
   would poll all nodes at the same time.  Not a big deal I suppose, it's not like   
   FTN networks need to be super high speed.  :)   
      
   I guess another "nice to have" would be to allow more than one address on ./mis   
   poll line like:   
      
   ./mis poll 1:2/3 21:1/100 3:770/1   
      
   And it would/could poll all three nodes at the same time.   
      
   Maybe you would know off the top of your head.  Deon = 21:3/100 & 77:3/1, if I   
   poll his fsxNet node would I also get any mail from him for SciNet since I   
   connect to him for both?
