right... right... and that's why one really should get a domain name
somehow, someway, from somewhere... then they can also ask the
z1.fidonet.net manager(s) to add a CNAME record for their
ftn.z1.fidonet.net host(s) that points to their static domain name for
their IP ;)

 RW>> static gets lost in the shuffle until you notify every link that
 RW>> you have.

 ml> agreed... and it is so easy to do, too...

 RW> I may have to make more changes with Roger's link here as well. 

it is what fidonet was built on... working out problems and cooperating on
their solution :)
