Only other thing I can think of is to make sure in your areas.bbs the correct
uplink is specified for each echo area. That will tell sbbsecho who to create
the PKT for and generate a *.MSG to that address.
Sn> I give that a shot and let you now
Can you look in your Irex log and see if indeed pkt's are being sent to your
hub. If so, then it seems you have everything configured correctly on his end.
IF your uplink is a hub to more than one network, his inbound folder should be
the same for all networks. His tosser will see the headers an put them in the
correct echoareas. If I can remember correctly you said he had a separate
folders with an extension.. like.. ../inbound.xxx. Really shouldn't be that
way unless he is running different tossers for different networks. Inbound, at
least on my system, should only be one folder. If you're operating FileAttach,
then you'll only need one outboud as well. Binkley/FLO will have individual
outbound folders for each zone. sbbsecho will create the proper files and
deposit them in the proper folders.
