That should be the case, yes, so long as you remember to set the node up in
both your sbbsecho.ini (with the binkit specific stuff turned off) and your
binkd.cfg file.

I also wondered about tickit but, seeing as synchronet runs a separate event
for that one, I also think it shouldn't cause an issue.

There are other systems that use other mailers besides binkit... binkd,
irex, etc., so I think it should all be fine.  Here I was already also
running ifcico -- only my test system currently connects that way but I
have had no issues getting areafix and netmail exchanged between the two
systems.

As you are a 250 net node, if you happen to notice that you are no longer
getting the nodelist from me, that means I am wrong so do let me know.  :D
