Hello Warpslide,

 Wa> What is the best version of Binkd to use?  The latest version I can
 Wa> find to download for Windows is Binkd 1.1a-27.

The current version of binkd is 1.1a-111. You can get that from..

http://download.binkd.org

look for binkd11a111* and grab one that works for you.

 Wa> domain fidonet C:\TG\\echomail\\FIDONET 1
 Wa> domain fsxnet C:\\TG\\echomail\\FSXNET 21
 Wa> domain testnet C:\\TG\\echomail\\TESTNET 72

That is for a 5D tosser.

I would change those lines to all end in 1 eg.

domain fidonet C:\\TG\\echomail\\outbound 1
domain fsxnet C:\\TG\\echomail\\outbound 1
domain testnet C:\\TG\\echomail\\outbound 1

You will end up with outbound.??? for your other zones, outbound.015 for fsxnet. You tosser will create them when needed.

The above is for a 4D tosser like Squish, FE, Husky, FMail etc.

 Wa> address 1:229/664@fidonet
 Wa> address 21:3/110@fsxnet
 Wa> address 72:1/2@testnet

 Wa> node 21:3/100@fsxnet alterant.leenooks.net <password>
 Wa> node 1:229/426@fidonet bbs.darkrealms.ca <password>
 Wa> node 72:1/1@testnet 127.0.0.1 <password>

That looks good.

 Wa> I read elsewhere that I should just set all zones to 1, but that's
 Wa> when packets meant for my test-net between Mystic & Telegard got sent
 Wa> out to my Fidonet hub.

That is for a 4D tosser. Most tossers are 4D.

 Ttyl :-),
