That's whacked as I don't use agoranet.

I put 5D entries in all of my node entries like so...

node 21:1/100.0@fsxnet  -6 ipv6.agency.bbs.geek.nz:24556;* NUNYA i c:\\pxw\
\fsxnet\\out

In this case it's no question it's fxnet

Was told everything works better when the node is completely speced out.

In your case it shouild start with...

node 1:2320/100.0@fidonet ....

This way BinkD knows my domain is fidonet and it doesn't have to guess
