  • Creating Point Node For FidoNet

    From Khronos@1:103/705 to All on Sat Oct 10 14:42:23 2026
    What do I need to do to create a point node for my system?
    I tried to add a node as 1:135/205.0 and the .0 was chopped off when creating this entry?
    What am I doing incorrect?

    Thanks,

    From what I remember you need to set it up as a linked node in echoscfg and you can create a list of groups the point has access too. If .0 is removed then maybe .0 is not idea for a point number. try .1 ?

    I think I know where I messed up.
    I created the node and set the uplink group list as my fidonet group.
    I do not think I should have done this.
    I created an echolist called z1.na in my /sbbs/fido/echolists directory.
    In the keys section do I specify z1.na or fidonet for access to all my fidonet areas?

    .0 is not a "point node". 1:135/205.0 is basically the same thing as 1:135/205. Any number but 0 will work, although there may be an upper limit (4 digits maybe?).

    I created my point node as .1 and I believe I may have the EchoMail flowing to it now.

    In echocfg you need to go to EchoLists and then create an echolist with the path you mentioned above and then give is a required key. This key is what you enter into the linked node config for the point.
