    Yep, that's correct! As the files will be coming from your uplink (hub) 21:4/100.

    You'll also need to send a netmail to Filefix at 21:4/100 with your Filefix password as subject and +FSX_NODE in the message body in order to turn on the deliveries (unless Avon has already done this for you).

    I'm not sure, but I couldn't find any FSX_LIST mentioned in the infopack, however FSX_NODE does indeed exist. :)

    Thank you for your answer, I have NODE 21:4/104 at my BBS, thats the node number by Avon when I apply for membership, I have written 21:4/100 in config to send to the hub 21:4/100 (hub), I have no clue how to send what you are written, so I have to send a passwd to fsx_node, this is already written in the config in my config to fsx hub, DO I have to send it twice?
    As NOW, I have FSX_NODE in file base editor and I send it to 21:4/100 (fsxNet) and no export "No Node" in export to

    You have to send a netmail to "Filefix" at 21:4/100 with the Filefix password that you and Avon have agreed on, and write +FSX_NODE in the message text of that netmail, to ensure that you're subscribed to FSX_NODE. Otherwise, you will not get any files from that file echo (unless Avon has already subscribed you to it).

    Just like when you subscribe to echomail conferences, but "Filefix" instead of "Areafix".

    it twice? As NOW, I have FSX_NODE in file base editor and I send it to 21:4/100 (fsxNet) and no export "No Node" in export to

    My file base for FSX_NODE has:

    Net Address ³ 21:1/202 (fsxNet) <-- my fsxNet node address
    Export To ³ 0 node(s)
    Upload ACS ³ %
    Hatch ACS ³ %

    The "Export To" not exporting to anyone (especially not to the hub, 21:1/100 in my case as I'm on the 100 net) is because FSX_NODE is a read-only file echo -- only Avon's system is supposed to be hatching (sending out) files to those who are connected to it.

    Preventing BBS users from uploading or hatching files to the file base using "%" (= deny all) as the ACS string is a good safety measure to avoid this to ever happen.

    So, I use the Hub node 21:4/100 in my file base editor, I can see you are using your own node 21:1/202,to exportechomail NOT the hub number, its that right?

    my node number IS 21:4/104, but I use 21:4/100 (Hub)to export echomail, hrm its realy hard to understand, My english its not so good, I can see your bbs is in sweden, my bbs are even in sweden.

    Yep! That's right! It should be set to your own node number.

    Actually, I don't think it should even be possible to select the hub's node number there, as it would indicate that your hub's node number has been entered as one of your own node numbers in Networking --> Echomail Addresses. So make sure to check Networking --> Echomail Addresses and that only your own node numbers are there. An excerpt from mine looks like this:

    ÛßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßÜ

    ÜÜ Û 0:0/0 No Local Address ²°²gj! ÞÛÜÜ Û 21:1/202 fsxnet Yes fsxNet °ÛÛÜÜ

    The hub's node number should only be listed in Networking --> EchoMail Nodes, as that's the list of echomail nodes that you communicate with. An excerpt from mine looks like this:

    Ûßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßß EchoMail NodesßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßßÜ Û ID Act Description SysOp Network Û

    Hope this helps!
