I am setting up FSXNET myself right now. I do not want to set up FIDONET yet.
Do I make FSXNET my main? I know you have main and aka. Do I have to run fidoin
and fidoout if I am not using fido net to start? I noticed I got a bunch of
message packets from FSXNET and they are sitting in my inbound folder. How do I
get them to propagate into the actual message area? I got my node ID from
FSXnet  and the fsxnet.na file came in just fine. I used the javascript setup
which works really well btw. If I try to run FIDOIN and FIDOUT right now I get
a message from windows that the program has encountered a problem and must shut
down and I have to hit OK to a screen prompt.  It also creates a sbbsecho.bsy
file in the ctrl directory. I have been watching your YOUTUBE video and reading
up on fidonet tossers and echocfg. Before you guys tear into me I am trying. I
am reading the documentation. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
