Yup. The exact [ftndomains] entries here are:

[ftndomains]

^[1-6]: fidonet
^111: stnnet
^115: pascal-net
^110: linuxnet
^618: micronet
^21: fsxnet

The nodelist entry is:

,100,fsxNet_HUB,Dunedin_NZL,Paul_Hayton,-Unpublished-,300,CM,INA:ipv4.agency.bb
s.geek.nz,IBN:24556

This entry works when used in the [Node Remap] section but not when BBBS reads
the same data from the nodelist.

Yeah. I recall Kim mentioning that too. I'll email you the nodelist that I
currently have and am using.
