I don't think I have ever had a session with BinkleyTerm, so that would be an interesting test.

By all means, test away. We should (theoretically) be able to send netmail back and forth with EMSI/Telnet as is.

If you do this, let me know your hostname and port so I can reply.

We could also setup a secure session to test echomail if you like. Let me know and we'll get it done.

When net 1 (or 3 or 4) sends out a message my node will be listed in the seenbys so the other nets won't send my node the message. If net 2 or 5 send out a message to the hubs my node will not be listed in the seenbys so I will get it from net 1, 3 and 4 (at least I should) so I do get a good number of dupes. The first message gets tossed as expected and the dupes are just dropped.

If you arrange things like this you want a tosser that handles dupes properly.
