Hi Carlos,

On 2022-09-11 10:05:35, you wrote to me:

 CN>>> How would you do (or are you doing) to make binkd only poll a
 CN>>> non-CM node at its open hours?

 WV>> Do you have a non-CM link? Or is this a theoretical problem? ;)

 CN> Theoretical. :-)

I think non-CM in combination with IBN, most of the time is an error in the
nodelist. I never found a non-CM + IBN node that was actually just connectable
at ZMH. And it doesn't make sense either. Non-CM used to exist for nodes with
1 phone line, that wanted to reserve the 1 line for BBS users. That doesn't
make sense for IBN nodes. Where you can have as many concurrent TCP
connections as you like on the "one" IP link.

 CN> Besides non-CM nodes, it could be useful for points...

Points that are not CM, should just poll their boss. ;-)

 CN> I'm testing this with a CM link (renaming to .HLO just after tossing, and

Then you are just lucky, because no .?SY files are used, binkd could just grab
the .?LO file, and do it's thing before your scripts rename them to .HLO...

Bye, Wilfred.
