Hi David,

 DD> Use an asterisk in

 DD> Ah - then I must include a node entry for everyone I might contact....

No, I just create a 0 byte .ILO file for all outbound calls you want BinkD to 
make and off it goes...

 DD> Hmm - I may as well use a binkd.txt (instead of a 
 DD> fabulously complete root-domain).

 PQ> I haven't tried it but that's what the dox say.

 DD> I had this daft idea that it could be told to default 
 DD> all outbound to f.n.z.root-domain without having to 
 DD> list all of the nodes, that it would interpolate from 
 DD> the zone net node number of the packet. I wonder what 
 DD> made me think that....

You only need to create the manual entry for SECURE connections, insecure are 
automatic.

Cheers..............pk.
