OK, In that case I am going to step away. I misunderstood. I though you
were missing messages somehow.

I was thinking of a feed for redundency. If the problem is that your are
getting PKT's more than once it would not help to get even more. It would
just make it harder to figure out.

Definately. I don't think redundency feeds are needed in fsxnet because
we all have a short path to each other and the hubs pay attention to what
is happing in the net. If there are problems they are not hard to find or
fix.

It's different in fidonet where path lines can be very long. Missing
messages can be a thing there and hard to figure out why. Redundency
there makes more sense in that case.
