I used various forms of FroDo for about 4 years with FastEcho (FE).  All mail 
_routing_ was handled via a FE route file, using the route file's name as an 
argument when packing in-transit netmail via a "FastEcho.Exe PACK -P 
-RRouteNet.Fe" command.  In late '98 I switched over to using Binkley-style 
mailers (Binkley & BinkD), without blinking an eyelid.  The FE route file still 
did everything for me; mail & files.

The FE route file need only be a subset of what your Route.Fd consisted of.  
Mine looks like this:

----- ROUTENET.FE begins -----
  ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------
  ; ROUTENET.FE file for individual node for Fastecho.

Did that help any, Steve?

Cheers,
