   If you are using the test AKA 21:1/999 then you will be (for want of a better   
   term) competing with others also testing using the same AKA. This leads to some   
   folks posting echomail into the fsxNet echos but then wondering why their   
   replies are few/far between. It's usually because someone else testing with   
   /999 has beaten them to mail packets with their replies..   
      
   So yep, grab a full node number and then at least all message and/or files   
   traffic you want will be sitting at a HUB waiting for you to poll and   
   collect it. The other thing to be aware of is that some echomail areas in   
   fsxNet are not linked to the test /999 AKA (this is by design) if you want   
   those you should consider getting a full node number. :)   
      
   If you're following the older videos, sending a netmail to 'Areafix' at   
   21:1/100 using the password mentioned, is the way to go if you want to send a   
   %rescan command to get older messages.   
      
   Hope that helps.   
      
   Best, Paul aka Avon
