No sweat. :-)  (I'm assuming you're using 4D.)

1)  In MAX.CTL, make sure you're set up as:
 % For 4D points:
 %
 %   Use your real 4D pointnet address for the first
 %   "address" statement.  For the second address statement,
 %   simply use the address of your bossnode.
 %
 %   Example:
 %
         Address 2:201/506.3     % Your full 4D point address
         Address 2:201/506       % Your bossnode's address
 PR> Does anyone have any idea about what am I doing wrong?
2)  Looks like the problem may be in SQUISH.CFG.  Here's the info:
; -------------
; FOR 4D POINTS
; -------------
;
; This feature can only be used if both you and your boss are running
; 4D-aware packers AND 4D mailers.
;
; Most mailers support 4D points, but BinkleyTerm (version 2.40 or
; below) does not.  Others, such as FrontDoor, InterMail, D'bridge, and
; BinkleyTerm 2.50+ can handle 4D points correctly.
;
; In addition, you and your boss must be running 4D-compatible
; packers and scanners.  Most packers and scanners are NOT fully
; 4D.  As of this writing, the most common 4D tossers/scanners/packers
; are TosScan, Imail, GEcho and (of course) Squish.
;
; Unless both you and your boss satisfy all of these requirements,
; you must use a fakenet point instead.
;
; For 4D points, simply include your full 4D address.  Any addresses
; after that will simply be considered as AKAs.
;
; For a point at 2:201/506.3, the following configuration would be used:
;
    Address 2:201/506.3
Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do this.  I've been feeding points 
for years using the 4D scheme and it's worked perfectly.  The points 
themselves are using Squish 1.11.  Keep in mind that your bossnode *must* be 
running a 4D packer and mailer else it won't work correctly.
Hope this helps.
