That sounds like exactly what was happening. I'm not sure as to why I don't do 
his for Fidonet (I definitely should and it has been changed now), but for Agor
net I am the hub and so don't need to forward requests. So I think I just kept 
hat the same toggle across all networks.

Thanks. I had a nice manually created sbbsecho.cfg for years, and then I starte
 using echocfg which moved things all over the place, and oddly added some rand
m nodes that I don't have configured anywhere (ie: 46:46/1 or something when I 
nly use nets 1-3, and some other randoms I didn't understand.. but also didn't 
ffect any mail moving). I removed any oddball link addresses before I fired up 
bbsecho v3 for the first time, so hopefully that doesn't happen anymore.

But yeah, being able to sort your "Nodes" section would be awesome. Even listin
 them in echocfg gets confusing because I have Fidonet addresses in between Ago
anet addresses, etc.

 DM> Cool glad to hear. And thanks for the bug report.

Of course, and better yet.. thanks for the fix!
