I like that addition!

I bet that is exactly why it failed for us in WinPoint.  I assumed that  
WinPoint would automatically create the network particulars just like it  
does the echo areas when something arrives.

Creating an uplink entry *first* before tossing makes sense.  I guess we  
wouldn't want WinPoint to blindly accept every pkt or bundle that it  
receives.  It's a good thing that the "unknown" .pkts are moved out of the  
way.

BUT..  Apoint doesn't seem to care!  ;)  The only thing I see failing in  
Apoint would be the building of outbound bundles to the proper Boss node.   
In which case, that should probably be configured before Exporting any new  
messages created locally.
