This may be a stupid question, but... If no mail is flowing, what's
the point?

393/9005 is effectively an end node.

For clarity, Netmail in most of the following means Routed Netmail.

Also, if checked, Netmail for Net124 flows to/from both 124/1 and
124/6308.

Netmail coming in to 124/6308 for Net124 is sent direct unless the
destination is long distance. In that case, it is routed to 124/1 who
sends it direct from there.

Netmail hitting 124/1 is sent to 124/6308 or whoever 124/1 connects to
I guess. You'd have to ask 124/1 about that end. I just try to keep
the loops in control on my end... that's enough. :-))

124/6308 connects to 3830/9 via BinkP and 124/1 via POTS. Gateway?

124/6308 is now a 24/7 BinkP.

I think that 3830/9 connects to, or is 19/0 or something like that?

Some Echomail flows to 124/6308 via 3830/9 and some via 124/5025
                         
124/5025 is AKA 124/1 and AKA 124/5000

124/6308 feeds local echos between Net124 and Net393 as well as some
in Net3830 that are in the "gasp" geographical area and wants them.


A convoluted, contrived and pulsating mass of something... but it has
a hell of a heart beat. :-))
