I thought the squish routing commands might have automatically attempted to
dial out straight away when you next get into Binkley.  Next time you do
the run, just press "c" to "make next call now!" and
see if it tries to call out.  If it doesn't, then you need to unrem the
"squishp poll 3:711/934".  DON'T make any other changes to the
batch file!!!

 AM> PATHs but SEENBYs are just plain awful and wasteful...

I wouldn't have thought you got them in the QWK packets, but maybe you are
complaining about them being in your messagebase?  Anyway, I've switched
them off so you just get a single line for them now.  BFN.
