This is just a guess and may have nothing to do with this,  do you have this
'othernet' in [ftndomains]? for example:

==cut==
[ftndomains]

^[1-6]: fidonet
^111: stnnet
^115: pascal-net
==cut==


If you do, then post the line from the othernet nodelist for this node here, or
send it me in netmail or email.

Also, IIRC Kim said that this feature (reading the nodelist) should work for a
lot of internet nodes but might not work for all of them.  I would have to go
back and check his message here regarding that for his exact words, but I think
that is close to what he said 

Take care,
Janis
