Sort of..:-))

First get him/her into your copy of the nodelist.  Use your entry as a guide 
line.

Qnode.cfg:

Points pointnet.lst

From Pointnet.Lst

,Boss,1:17/23
,1,Muskeg_BBS_(c),Gord_Hannah,Unpublished,MO,BT,TS


Next in your Squish.cfg for the echoes have their point node next to yours, 
also needed in your route.cfg.

I have a couple of samples:
Route.Cfg

ROUTE Hold 1:17/23.1 1:ALL 2:ALL 3:ALL 4:ALL 5:ALL 6:ALL
SEND normal world
SEND Hold 1:17/23

Now in Squish.cfg:

; -------------
; FOR 4D POINTS
; -------------
;
; This feature can only be used if both you and your boss are running ; 
4D-aware packers AND 4D mailers.
;
; Most mailers support 4D points, but BinkleyTerm (version 2.40 or ; below) 
does not.  Others, such as FrontDoor, InterMail, D'bridge, ; and BinkleyTerm 
2.50+ can handle 4D points correctly.
;
; In addition, you and your boss must be running 4D-compatible ; packers and 
scanners.  Most packers and scanners are NOT fully ; 4D.  As of this writing, 
the most common 4D tossers/scanners/packers ; are TosScan, Imail, GEcho and (of 
course) Squish.
;
; Unless both you and your boss satisfy all of these requirements, ; you must 
use a fakenet point instead.
;
; For 4D points, simply include your full 4D address.  Any addresses ; after 
that will simply be considered as AKAs.
;
; For a point at 1:123/456.1, the following configuration would be ; used:
;
;       Address 1:123/456.1

Address 1:17/23.1

BinkPoint

EchoArea TUB                     h:\echo\TUB        -$d7       1:17/23 (split 
Line) 1:17/23.1


Should work just fine this is what I did before switching to AdeptXBbs, and I 
fed 6 points at one time.

YMMV so play around a bit to get the best performance for your needs.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
