Makes sense as to why I'd get netmails a bit late. :/ I understand now, and
its obvious that when I was BBSing back in the day, I wasn't networked. My
board wasn't one I wanted to be a part of the broader community.

Thanks; I had all of this setup correctly, from when I joined fsxNet - but I
just never tacked the 'yes' option on the BINKP network tab. Stupid... but my
FTNs were working so.... anyway, glad I *think* I have it running smoothly
now.
