<h3>Introduction</H3>
<P>
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. There are eight
screens for each node.
<p>&nbsp;<p>
<H3>Edit general setup</H3>
<p>
This screen has the general information for the node. The contact info fields are
just for private use, these fields are only used in this screen. The Outbox dir is for
files to sent to the node, all file you put in there will be sent to the remote if
user mbse has read/write access to the file. Only real files are allowed, not symlinks etc.
<p><table>
<tr><th nowrap align=left valign=top>Sysop name</th><td>The name of the system
operator. The name entered here is used in Areamgr and Filemgr messages etc.</td></tr>
<tr><th nowrap align=left valign=top>Outbox dir</th><td>Private extra outbound
directory for this node. Any file dropped into this directory will be sent to
the node and removed after it is sent.</td></tr>
<tr><th nowrap align=left valign=top>Pvt. phone</th><td>Contact info, node private

<tr><th nowrap align=left valign=top>Route via</th><td>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. Note that to force calling this node
via internetr, ISDN or pots can also be done by using nodelist flags override. See
section 3. This setting is more usefull to force routing via another node or
aka.</td></tr>
<tr><th nowrap align=left valign=top>Netmail direct</th><td>Set "direct" flag in
netmail to this node.</td></tr>

<tr><th nowrap align=left valign=top>Inet hostname</th><td>The FQDN hostname or
IP address of this node. This replaces the original system name from the
