Hello SHANNON,

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but I will offer this
much at the risk of getting smacked. :)

I think you are running up against a nodelist problem and not a
software problem.

There is no standard place for the binkp or other IP domains in the
FTN nodelist. Therefore, most IP mailers assume a default
"fidonet.net" domain such as "f6308.n124.z1.fidonet.net" if a Node is
not specifically set up in the Node manager, or equivalent, of the IP
mailer. If the assumed fidonet.net domain is not found, a routing
table or some such is used.

In Irex, there is a "route.rex" file for routing. I currently run
Irex, but I used Taurus (Argus clone) for dial-up for a good while.

Argus is no longer developed. I would suggest that you use Radius or
Taurus. Both are clones of Argus and are still being developed.... as
far as I know..

Frank
