Hello Bj”rn,

Yes, the 9 is missing. I could easely correct that. It makes no difference.
RC40 can not be called anyway, the number does not answer. As for "complete",
the challenge was to present a configuration that could do two thing:

1) Have an Ausie POTS node call his/her NC.
2) Have an Aussie node call 000 from he nodelist.

Nothing abbout "complete" in the sense that it should be able dial all POTS
nodes in the nodelist.

I leave it to the readers of this echo to judge if I met the challenge.

Malcom's concerns were about newby nodes accidentally misconfigured.


Cheers, Michiel
