    Hi all, I'm a bit confused by pulling in files over FidoNet. My
    hub, AFAIK, doesn't have file transfers setup, but I'd like to
    pull in the nodelist on a regular basis. So would I just do a
    filefix request from another BBS, maybe one that advertises in the
    file advertisement echo? Does that file get transferred through
    the hub, or do I need to create some sort of direct connection to
    that node? Thanks, Andre
    Hey sorry Andre, life has been... hectic here.

    I want to switch over to a different TIC processing system here, but I just haven't had the time. It's about the same amount of work right now to set up a file feed as it is to switch, and set up a file feed with that.

    Janis Kracht (1:261/38) is my uplink for files, I'd suggest contacting her. :) --

    Same here. Just been sitting in the hospital for Etienne's appendectomy all week, and BBS traffic is a good match for crappy hospital internet, so
    figured I'd try to test some stuff.

    So no apology necessary at all. Gives me a chance to learn better how the
    file transfer work.

    Hope everything goes well with the appendectomy! My sister-in-law had hers out about 8 years ago, just in the nick of time, apparently.
    Sending you well wishes!
