Hmmm.... Mine shows FLST202P.ZIP 10-15-99  120639 .  I wonder if one of ours 
got re-packed with a system advertisement....  I think mine came in on one of 
the filebone areas.

Interesting.....  You are using Qnode and not Fastlst.  [I'm also using Qnode.] 
 You are doing it down in the Dial translation tables instead of in the phone 
number override section.  Both work in qnode, but you have to manually set up 
each and every system that you want to connect to via TCP/IP.  I was looking 
for something more automated.

On the other hand, I do recall I normally "include" my cost and dial 
translation tables....  So with PERL or something similar, I could probably 
build the needed dial translation table prior to running QNode....  Interesting 
thought....  Now, where is perl for OS/2....  (and a good perl book....)

Baseically, what you are doing is what I'm already doing, except in a different 
spot of the config file.

The real catch is having that translation automatically generated based on 
information currently contained in the nodelist.

Hmmmm....

Thanks for the thought.....
