Oh yeah the -t argument afair.

Yeah i understood, it's just new for me that a tosser can have a "dynamic" 
routing table :)

It works now in the UNIX version, i think the feature still should be there, 
for fx. editors like timEd doesn't support ZoneGating (of Netmail), so it's 
good the tosser does.

It's just a good feauture for the node, that a netmail for another zone can get 
there so fast as possible.

Yeah it does...
