I put the point address in the [Nodes] section as well as in the [Node Remap]
section. But BBBS would not call out to the point address. I then tried putting
the point address in a Pointlist but a BNC of the Pointlist didn't include the
point. My syntax of the Pointlist might have contrary to what BBBS was
expecting.
After I added the Point address to the actual nodelist then BNC picked up the
point address and BBBS was able to connect to the point.
