If you're trying to route all of your netmail to 1:229/426, then why do most
of your "fastecho pack" commands start with 1:340/400?

If you take a look at your fastecho logs, you should be able to see where
these netmails are getting packed for. If you're sending them to Rob Starr,
and he's not routing your netmail properly, that's probably your problem.

I also haven't used fastecho in ages, but I don't remember anything about the
'via' option, so I probably never used it. If every link is setup correctly,
and your routing table is correct, 'fastecho pack' should be all you need.
Maybe even a 'scan' option afterwards to send it over to your mailer, unless
the 'pack' command does both.

If you're trying to route all Fidonet netmail through Nick Andre, then what
you have above is correct. You shouldn't need anything else for Fidonet. Then,
you will need a separate route setting for zone 10 where 10:* goes there, a
separate route setting for zone 21 where 21:* goes there, and a separate one
for every other network you're a part of.

If what you are trying to do is route everything through Nick, but have a
separate direct link to Rob, then you would need a separate route setting for
1:340/400 specifically where you only route 1:340/400.* to him, and it would
have to be listed /before/ Nick's entry (as 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* is the "catch all"
that is used if and when any direct links are not used.

Hope that makes it a bit easier to understand, and hope it helps.

Regards,
Nick
