  • Mulitple FTN domains and points

    From Michael Trip@2:280/2000 to All on Wednesday, March 14, 2018 13:54:52
    Hi guys,

    I am connected to 4 FTN networks and i am trying to configure points for 2 of those networks.

    Multiple points for one FTN network is no problem.

    But when i try to create a point for another FTN network and try to connect with a client that has those two points configured i get strange errors.

    Errors like Bad passwords etc. I know that this has something to do with
    AKA's but i can't find any documentation on AKA's for BinkD.

    So can anybody point me in the right direction?

    Greetings,

    Michael

    If you are connecting to a node for multiple nets make sure you use the same password for all links you have in common. If you use one password for Z2 and another for Z21 and you connect to the same node for mail it will work sometimes, and not others. It can get very confusing!
