Yup

I did not have a route statement for my uplink.  (Janis).  I tried it and for
some reason the message (not netmail but mail packet), got addressed to
1:261/381 after I did that.  I have removed it but those packets are still
sitting there waiting, never to see the light of her tosser unless I change
something and send it via Rex.

 NB> What exactly do you mean by your "tosser nodelist"? If you're referring to

Yes I know it is just a cofiguration file, but the tosser does treat it like a
private nodelist, because Synch does not use the nodelist as such.  The same is
true in Binkd. 

 NB> Anyhow, I'm also unsure as to what you mean by "since only those in my

I added a route statement for mark without addimg him to the config, and
the cufug program had a hissy fit.

 NB> Do you have a direct link setup with Mark's main system (1:3634/12) in
 NB> binkd? (if you're using BINKD.TXT, you do already even if you haven't

I guess
