Hello,

I live in a house with several students and a few days ago one of them
asked me if I could arange a fidonet-point-adres for him. Ofcourse this was
not so much a problem and now we both have a pointnumber with the same boss
(2:283/708). To spare telephone costs I wanted to route his mail through my
system and I wanted to make sure that he could connect echoarea's by me
instead of our boss and route his netmail through my system. All seems to
work fine now except one little thing. When he sends a message to a node
(x:yy/zz.0) it arrives at my system for routing to our boss and when I look
at the message during tossing the destination adress changes from x:yy/zz.0
to x:yy/zz.my_pointnumber. When he simply adresses a message to a
pointnumber different from 0 everything is allright and everything gets
routed through my system, but when he wants to send it to a node everything
gets messed up. Does anyone have an idea what is doing this?

By the way: I use Squish ofcourse but he uses gecho because I thought this
is a nice very easy starters-pack. If this is the problem then I can make
sure he uses squish to but I don't thing the problem is at his side. Or it
must be that GEcho doesn't insert the TOPT kludge when he makes a message
to a node with point number 0. But as far as I know Squish doesn't this
either.
