Oh, that's a control-Z, yes please terminate the message with it.  WWIV5  
doesn't care but 4.x does.

Oh yes, that would likely be good.

I'm pretty sure fromsys is hte originating system always

Ye, good point, I'd be happy to be that hub, and it's easy just to route  
everything through me. Mark is still @1 but connects through me.  I always  
have the close to latest on the bbs.

They do use the domain of the network name defined in wwivconfig (which has to  
match).  I think everything woudl be fine unless you had the same connection  
in two different wwiv networks.  It'd be fixable since I use 5d addressing  
everywhere now, so 20000:20000/101@wwivnet != 20000:20000/101@rushnet.

There may be bugs, but those can be fixed.  Just fixed a simiar type problem  
for Morgul with FTN (that thing that made binkd need to hide akas)



Thanks!
