Hello Loyd,

So what is the problem?

1) You do not have access to the DNS zone of outworldbbs.com?

2) outworldbss.com is not the correct host name and your NC does not correct it in the nodelist?

3) Some other problmen?

Running a Fidonet node and/or a BBS implies opening some doors to the rest of the world. No way to do that will all doors closed.

You advertise binkp connectivity in the nodelist. I'd say that is priority #1...


Cheers, Michiel
