Subject: Is possible to Create Points with SynChronet?
@MSGID: <697E7B37.16561.dove-syncops@bbs.unicyber.co.uk>
Hi

Sorry if this has been already answered before, bit I've spent time looking for some information on these regards and I am not too clear about the subject.

I currently have a few nodes in my BBS but I wonder whether I can generate a point from either of those nodes? Is that possible?
I remember a very long time ago, in the days of old using RA (Remote Access) and doing those sort of things. I am not sure whether this is possible? and how to do it?
Any document I can take a look about this?

I've been using for years qwk to grab the netmail but I am trying to also start using binkd.
I've managed to set it up after creating a dummy node, but I wonder whether is possible to also do the same but with a point?

Apologies as I am refreshing quite a lot of things I haven't touched in decades and maybe what I intend is not possible or it sounds a bit vague and it might not make any sense.

Thanks a lot people!

Yes, of course. Just add the point in echocfg->Linked Nodes and maybe add the point address to some echoes in your area file (assuming you're using one) and away you go.
