Breaking in to a slanging match with Rod Speed...

 PE> Squish is the thing that is taking an inbound packet, and
 PE> routing any netmail not to 3:711/934 to 3:711/809.

Hi Paul,
         for information...

  What does Squish do if it gets an obviousy silly address, or no
address at all? It must read message headers to get the destination
net and node, and then get the point number out of TOPT: in the body
of the message.

  If "TOPT:" is missing, doesn't it just send it to the net and node
in the header - ie, point zero?

  Doesn't Squish do any checking of the net and node numbers in the
header, even blanks? Surely it would know a blank is not right, and
default to the net/node in the *packet* header? 

  Does the later version of qwk2pkt leave those fields blank, rather
than default to the home address 711 934?

Regards,
Bob
