    I like to hear if what there is the best for use fidogate with those
    files setup config.

    The program like to to work with writing ad make the oubound ifle or directory. A explain of what fidogate ffx shall do and will do by the
    ffc command.

    The writeup for the *ffx functionality is in the help files
    (fidogate.info; fidogate.html if you created that...) The ffx
    funcgtionality is similar to that of uux with uucp & is only useful if
    there is a Fidogate system at the other end...

    # Process packets for FTN gateway
    /usr/lib/fidogate/ftn2ftn -A 2:2/900 -B 900:900/2

    ----- rungate ends -----
    Is the process packets for Internet gateway the right one ?

    To my knowledge, that is only for netmail...



    ----- send-ffx begins -----

    ----- send-ffx ends -----
    There should not be any thing in here to change ?

    See above note about the *ffx programs...



    ----- send-fidogate begins -----
    ----<cut>----------
    ## Who are we sending to?
    if [ -n "$1" ] ; then
    LIST="$*"
    else
    LIST="fidogate"
    fi
    ----<cut>----------
    ----- send-fidogate ends -----
    The list function seem not to like to work is there something wrong by
    cat and list ??

    Do you have a site named "fidogate" in your inn configuration? (/etc/news/newsfeeds on my inn 1.7 install)

    Simmular to the capture line.
    Capture\
    I have taken the command form fidogae file newsfeed. # FIDOGATE gateway fidogate\
    :!*,alt.*,rec.*,soc.*,christ*\
    :Tf,Wnb:fidogate

    This is what mine looks like:

    ----------<cut>----------------------------------------------
    fidogate\
    :!*,rocasa.*,ftn.*,fmlynet.*,linuxnet.*,stn.*\
    :Tf,Wnb:fidogate ----------<cut>----------------------------------------------

    Note that I am not currently doing any gating of non FTN areas here...
