Hmmm.... Mine shows FLST202P.ZIP 10-15-99  120639 .  I wonder if one of ours
got re-packed with a system advertisement....  I think mine came in on one of
the filebone areas.

Interesting.....  You are using Qnode and not Fastlst.  [I'm also using Qnode.]
You are doing it down in the Dial translation tables instead of in the phone
number override section.  Both work in qnode, but you have to manually set up
each and every system that you want to connect to via TCP/IP.  I was looking
for something more automated.

On the other hand, I do recall I normally "include" my cost and dial
translation tables....  So with PERL or something similar, I could probably
build the needed dial translation table prior to running QNode....  Interesting
thought....  Now, where is perl for OS/2....  (and a good perl book....)

Baseically, what you are doing is what I'm already doing, except in a different
spot of the config file.

The real catch is having that translation automatically generated based on
information currently contained in the nodelist.

Hmmmm....

Thanks for the thought.....
