RM> I tried it out, and like the concept very much ;)
It's incredibly good to hear that.
RM> It adds a CP866 charset kludge.
RM> Not correct for me ;)
You may change to UTF-8 in the echo conferencing settings since 1.2.16
But you right there were a large set of different encodings previously.
Cyrrilic chars in CP866 / CP1251 and etc.
RM> I managed to send a test message from the point to the boss node.
RM> But at first it did not receive anything.
We are now discussing the default standard and it becomes FTS-0048 since 1.2.16
Also most people want to manual mailer manage instead auto 5 min. dialing.
In any case in settings in 1.2.16 it already implemented.

RM> I deleted all the files, and retried and it worked.
One of the active participants in the development echo conference (i.e. RU.GOLDEN) has download over 60_000 messages. Said that he wait for toss more than 2.5 hours, but I'm not sure about GP is designed for that large message bases. This is a very interesting experience anyway. But I developed it as toys point packet for first steps with FidoNet.
RM> Before the received statistics were always 0.
The statistics functionality in GP is poorly tested, but I am sure that over time we will find all the bugs.
RM> And it uses IPv6 :)
Unfortunately, the internet today is still a baby compared to FidoNet addressing (IPv8 = u16:u16/u16.u16) 😂
RM> PS: Would be cool if you could implement nodelist/pointlist support,
RM> so that you can search for names and fill in the addresses automatically.
It shouldn't be difficult. The big challenge is to write correct JavaScript and implement UI interactivity with views.
RM> Also TZUTC kludge would be nice.
Since 1.2.16 already implemented. But right now BOSS and point may in different one Zone and it is another one challange.
