Just a quick one, are you happy for me to start accepting FTN node applications for DeveloperNet and MusicalNet?

Everything is ready to go on my end.

Yes, I think that would be fine.

OK, I'll paste the application into FSX, since I know there's interested parties there, to get the ball rolling. I'll let you work on the overall strategy. :) Once the modified infopack is out (within 24 hours), I'll post a link so you can grab it. It's just the latest infopack with the FTN stuff added. I actually don't have a copy as such yet, because it's all tied in with nodelist generation, which will take place tomorrow (manually this week, automatically on Fridays my time, once I'm confident it's all working).

All is good, nodelist and infopack generation are working. I now have all the pieces ready.

And we're live, just added the first system to both nets on FTN. :)

Only downside of FTN is I wasn't able to gate the older messages from QWK across to FTN, so the FTN side is a little sparse, and a %RESCAN won't get a lot. :( Guess we're going to have to get more active in the echos. :)

I suppose that's true.. FTN doesn't really have scan pointers like QWK, does it?

No, but I was hoping to get the QWK messages imported into FTN by rolling back the QWK pointers, before turning on the gateway functions. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to work. I have my local messagebases full, but nothing beyond that. And I've had issues getting Areafix to work on Synchronet, so I can't do a %RESCAN from the hub to the gateway. :(
