subject: BBBS and Point Addresses?

Over here I have a point list file in my nodelist directory.  When I browse the
nodelist with the BROWSE command, bbbs doesn't report the points as it does
when I browse other regular non-point node numbers.. but it does pack mail for
the point no problem, and gives that point's traffic the flavor I assign to it
in external.bbb (Hold).  IIRC, you cannot force bbbs to call points crash.  The
points have to pick up their traffic.

Take care,
Janis
