> ### Introduction

> Unlike many other bbs packages, for each node you need only one record. If you have a relation with a node for one network with costsharing, and other networks without costsharing you need two records for that node. For each node you can setup the aka's, mail, files and session handshake.

> ### Main setup

>     Sysop name       The name of the system operator.
>     Fido aka's       Maximum 20 Fido addresses.
>     Dial command     You can put an override here for the normal
>                      dial command. If you leave this empty the
>                      command from the modem setup is used.
>     Phone number 1   An alternative phone number/ip address to dial.
>     Phone number 2   An alternative phone number/ip address to dial.
>                      Use these above commands if the node has
>                      another phone number as mentioned in the
>                      nodelist. If you call this node via TCP/IP
>                      and the IP address can't be resolved by
>                      the nodelist, you may enter an IP address

>     Route via        A route via Fido address. All mail for this
>                      node will be send via this Aka, even mail
>                      and files for other networks. This can be
>                      usefull if this node has internet access
>                      so you can send everything to this node
>                      over the internet.
