   Hello everybody!

I've tried adding a secondary network, FSXNET, but when I write a netmail message, for example to Areafix I see in the logs that binkd tries to connect to my uplink but using @fidonet so I doesn't resolve the hostname. I tried in different ways as the FAQ mentions in 22 & 23 but I get the same results. I use hpt as tosser.
