Thank you for the explanation, Captain Obvious. I just got my node number 
yesterday. Its nice to take Fidonet-101 lessons from someone of your stature.

Simple... It waits until 2:2/0 comes on-line.

TK> Does it try any other route, like 2:20/0 or 2:221/0?

Nope. My software follows the specific routing table I set. There is enough 
complexity at the ZC1 level with routing Netmail for RC's, Net's, Node's that
have various priority in the table due to having a direct connection; and 
sometimes they can and do go down. Shit happens.

If the person in Zone 1 is not happy that they write you a Netmail that is
host-routed through me that routes through 2:2/0 which is down for that week, 
then perhaps they should try sending Crash.

You can try to be lowercase Mark Lewis, but you're not even close...
