NB>Hello Daryl,

Hi, Nick...

NB>Synchronet does not, and has never required a nodelist for anything. Synchro
NB>only requires you setup your sbbsecho.cfg (or echocfg as a GUI) properly. It
NB>basically a route table of sorts.

  Having only run SBBS for 2 years (compared to 13 years under GT Power
on dial-up, then running VADV32 ever since), it has been a long time
since I worked with it.

NB>It's probably your mailer that requires that nodelist, but Synchronet doesn'
NB>all.

  It's the VFIDO Mailer with Virtual Advanced...although Internet Rex
does have a directory for nodelist files.

NB>He probably set up his "mailbox" or "filebox" as the same directory as the
NB>outbound directory. That's usually the only way you will start receiving the
NB>.?lo, .try, .bsy/.csy etc files - which is of course the wrong way to setup 
NB>BSO mailer.

  I guess that's what he did...but I went back to QWK Networking. I do
a manual telnet logon to his system once a day, to send the outgoing REP
packet, and scan for a new QWK packet.

NB>Sure, but you seem to be left with some extra cruft, eh? (.clo/.dlo/.hlo fil
NB>as well as possibly others)

  I just had the batchfiles delete that extra junk.

Daryl
