        Thank you.. and that's what this whole network is about... though..
if I had any say in the matter, I totally understand the decision to not
include Squish support in Adept.. but I would like to personally see Adept
message base format added to FleetStreet... perhaps FleetStreet 2.0 will do
that.. <grin>.. though, I should send the author of FleetStreet an email
message to see if *HE* still does exist..<Grin>

assistant: Hello All!
I have now setup a pointsystem for testing with AdeptXBBS but have a problem
with netmail routing. When I sent a netmail to a node (which is not the
bossnode) and the mail is being tossed on the bossnode the mail is rejected.
The cause is that the destination address is not the boss node but the node
to which the netmail was written. Does anybody have a clue what I am doing
wrong ?

<snip>
     Speaking of GateKpr, is the version included with the latest
release of AdeptXBBS the newest version?  If so, is it okay to
use an older version of GateKpr?  And where might I find one?
I've been checking out AdeptXBBS a bit, whenever I find the time,
and it looks great but I'm not too keen on the idea of running a
version of GateKpr released by a guy who writes "I never
programmed in c/c++ before."  No offense to the guy (Klaus Ader?)
but I don't care to run a "learning by doing" version.
     On a related note; I'd like to know why has someone who has
just begun to learn C and C++ has been entrusted with the
development of what appears to be the only tosser available for
AdeptXBBS.  It doesn't seem very prudent and it makes me a bit
nervous about bothering with AdeptXBBS at all.
