Greetings NuSkooler!

Friday December 16 2022 10:50, you wrote to me about an urgent matter!:

I actually got fsxnet to add it works. However now cannot add a second network, but its probably that I do not understand how exactly it works.  On you git instructions I tried following that add additional networks.  It just errors out and when I try to use oputil to add fidonet it comes with that first prompt where it says use arrow keys to select network or something, but its blank and if I use and arrow key I get an error on screen (which I know isnt helpful to you at all) Ill see if I can paste it here.

{
  messageNetworks: {
    ftn: {
      networks: {
        // it is recommended to use lowercase network tags
        fsxnet: {
          defaultZone: 21
          localAddress: "21:1/121"
        }

        araknet: {
          defaultZone: 10
          localAddress: "10:101/9"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

your example in your docs, however after adding fsxnet mine looks like this.. Also I should note that my config.hjson did not include a "messageNetwork" section I had to add it, is that normal?

 messageNetworks: {
        ftn: {
            networks: {
                fsxnet: {
                    defaultZone: 21
                    localAddress: 21:1/190
            areas: {
                fsx_tst: {
                    network: fsxnet
                    tag: FSX_TST
                    uplinks: 21:1/100
                }
                fsx_gen: {
                    network: fsxnet
                    tag: FSX_GEN
                    uplinks: 21:1/100
                }
                fsx_mys: {
                    network: fsxnet
                    tag: FSX_MYS
                    uplinks: 21:1/100

Thats not the whole thing just a sample of it. so it shows areas there as well as the messageconference area it looks slightly different but they are listed in both places.  SO would I add fidonet at the end of this list of areas?

I know I will eventually get it, and I much prefer the config files once I get to know them.

Thank you in advance for any help and I hope when I send this message all the cut and paste doesnt go wonky so you cant read it.
