Hi Lews. I'm not sure if Doug has a test node setup to do Vnet tests. It would
be a good idea though. I think most just do their testing in the actual network
hehe.

I use Argus for packet mailing. I have it setup to monitor the \FIDO\OUT\000001
(fidonet) directory and automatically send the files to my host. For incoming
packets, when I receive a packet from my host it moves them to my \FIDO\IN0
directory then runs a batch file that contains the "VFIDO.EXE 0 /R" command to
process it. That's the basics of it though my batch file also performs other
tasks for nodediffs, tics, etc.

Is this sorta what you were looking for?

Steve
