    Is there a trick to get bink to poll othernets? like piNet, retronet etc?

    There is no special trick, just configure multiple addresses, nodes / nodelists and poll as usual. What problems do you experience?

    Where in the bink world have you found any limitations regarding certain "othernets"? It's all maths, what "othernets" refuses to not follow our simple maths rules?

    Hello Rick,

    BinkD handles FTN just fine. Just setup the AKA's for the networks, install the nodelist(s) and you should be fine.

    In binkd.cfg I have something like this

    domain fidonet /sbbs/fido/outbound 1
    domain advnet /sbbs/fido/outbound 1
    domain agoranet /sbbs/fido/outbound 1


    etc etc for the 20 or so networks I'm in. Then I have synchronet setup to dump into the /sbbs/fido/outbound directory. Binkd will pick up from there and
    route to my hub. I don't use crash mail for sending so that makes it easy, no nodelists to deal with.

    I don't know what BBS software you're using but you should just be able to
    dump your packets in the binkd outbound directory and it'll do the right
    thing.
