Can you call two different Nodes in in the same session or do you need to
call the first sign of then call the second?

If you have do it in two sessions, is there a way to do it with out chaging
the BinkD.cfg file? In other word, call the first node, complete the buiness sign off then call the second node?

Or do I just simply make two .cfg files?

Hi! Al,

If you run binkD 24/7, it will decide for itself. Generate your polls as you normally would and binkD follows.

See previous posts herewith WRT generating polls, or even Q32 in part #3 of the
FAQ, if you need.

Have fun with it.

Cheers,
Paul.

there's one session for each connection... there can be more than one session at a time...

why would you be changing config files???

Or do I just simply make two .cfg files?

no... you could but why make it so overly complicated?? you should explain more
about your situation and why you are asking these questions...

I am polling one system for routed netmail and a area on his system.
Then I am poling my regular feed for Echomail and netmail.

So just wondering if



# Link with System A
Node X:xxx/xxx system.name [mypassword]

# Link with System B
Node Z:zzz/zzz system.name [mypassword]


Works in one shot. IE calls system A, then shuts down and calls system B. Or am I confusing BinkD and just one or the other system gets called. Eventually everything will move to one feed, but for the time being possibly a month or so I need to do two polls each session.

Eventually I may have to think how to send echomail to both systems but the RIGHT echo mail to each system. Eventually this should change to one system also. But one step at a time.

Hey I'm not a progammer that's why I ask what seems to some as "dumb" questions!

Works for me!

having them in your config makes them available...

IE calls system A, then shuts down and calls system B. Or am I
confusing BinkD and just one or the other system gets called.

to poll any system with a BSO mailer, you generally only need to create a poll request for that system by the address you want to poll... there are several ways to do this, though... if you want to poll numerous systems when there's no
waiting outbound mail for them, then you need to create a ?lo file for each of them when ever you want to poll them...

Eventually everything will move to one feed, but for the time being possibly a month or so I need to do two polls each session.

you can have both in the main config file or you can list them in include files... as long as binkd can find something about them, then you should be able to poll or otherwise contact them...

an example of include files is this bit at the end of my binkd config on my main system

===== snip =====
include binkd.txt
include myconns.txt
===== snip =====

binkd.txt is the distributed binkd version of the fidonet nodelist... you may have others with other names or in other directories from other networks...

myconns.txt is the list of my connections with the necessary override data to override the defaults in the binkd.txt file... passwords and fileboxes as well as possible crash or direct or similar attributes are specified in this file...

Eventually I may have to think how to send echomail to both systems
but the RIGHT echo mail to each system.

that's a function of your mail tosser... you'll have one system linked and not the other so any PKTs created from messages in that echo will only be packed for systems that you connect to directly for that echo...

Eventually this should change to one system also. But one step at a
time.

in the long run, it doesn't matter as long as your connections stay alive and running a mailer with a mail tosser to process mail...

programming really doesn't come into play in this instance ;)
