You will need to define some things in each of the areas that are part of the
other ftn. The custom origin line, specifying which (alternate) address to use
in that area should do the trick for Max. Now, you may need to have a seperate
Squish control file for outbound, etc., depending on what you are trying to
do.... It's been a while since I had an alternate FTN address configured in
this BBS for actual usage....
RW> Been combing docs and so far as I can tell this appears

RW> echoes.
RW> Regards,
Good luck.....
Take care.....
