The FAQ says:

HotdogEd supports as many AKAs (servers) as you wish with the only remark: you can't have multiple points on one ftn node. This is a limitation of ftn provider.

However I've found that you can have 2 points of the same bossnode. The trick is using point .0 for the uplink of the second one.

- First point, uplink 2:345/678
- Second point, uplink 2:345/678.0

And if you for some strange reason need more than two, you can have "a point of a point". (The boss node in hotdoged can be a point address, even if it says boss 3D ftn address in setup). Just set up as many point aka's to the main boss as you want. :)

I see. Nice to know :-)

A reason for having several points in a HotdogEd instance would be being able to use different encodings for receiving echos. For example, CP866 for RU areas on point A, and CP437, UTF-8 or other on point B for the rest of areas.

HotdogEd allows you to set a specific charset (codepage) for each area (group), but it only works for exporting echomail. For incoming messages, it uses the global Codepage in the point's Server settings.

It works for me. This is the second point in my phone, with uplink 2:341/234.0

I've tested a bit more and found that this only works if both points have the same password - when polling the bossnode, it seems it uses the one defined in the main point.

Another issue is, if you use Manage subscription on the second point, the netmails to areafix that it generates are stored in the first point's Outgoing folder, and they are sent via that one. (But it works.)

Personally from one device I have this setting takes out node completely and no mail goes :)

Oh, I hope it didn't break too much and you could restore it... I haven't tried using node addresses.

Not two points simultaneously on same device, isn't it?

But if you receive mail from one point, what happens for another?

Don't understand again ;) this two points is on the one device? ;)

addresses.

I've just removed second "experimental" point ;)

Yes, same device. See here:

I can send/receive in both.

If I make a poll when I'm at HotdogEd's initial screen (see my capture above), it will make 2 polls to the boss sequentially, one for each point.

Another issue is, if you use Manage subscription on the second
point, the netmails to areafix that it generates are stored in
the first point's Outgoing folder, and they are sent via that
one. (But it works.)

Yes... on my phone :-)

I have described an issue I found when subscribing echos from the second point.

If I haven't explained this properly I can try to rephrase it.

Oh, I hope it didn't break too much and you could restore it... I
haven't tried using node addresses.

I've just removed second "experimental" point ;)

Glad to know ;-)

Could be. I've not tested that...

Is it common to use HotdogEd with node addresses in R50? More than points?

The same bossnode may have multiple AKA's, like this:

2:221/6 -> point 2:221/6.123
2:221/6.1 -> point 2:221/360.8110
2:221/6.6 -> point 2:221/10.0

All these 'points' can be in the same hotdoged.

Yes, of course. As they are different uplinks, HotdogEd "officially" supports that.

The good thing about the "trick" of using .0 for the uplink of the second point is that a user can have two points of the same bossnode without requiring the sysop to add point AKAs to his/her system. (Of course if the user is the sysop, no problem ;-)

I currently have:

2:341/234 -> point 2:341/234.12
2:341/234.0 -> point 2:341/234.123

(As I commented before, both points must use the same password.)

I've used my node on HotDog only, without points, just PVT. Haven't PC or notebook and haven't seen use for it in a long time ;)

But HotDog cannot act as a hub, that's what I tried to say. It cannot forward echomail from a node to another node.

What is AfterShock famous for? I don't understand what you mean.

Interesting... Yes, I see you can add several entries with same point/node address, as long as they have different uplinks...

Today i'v use four uplinks. The only inconvenience is that I can't see the addresses of the uplinks, I have to memorize their order. But i'll fix that. When more important bugs will be fixed.
Now i have an empirical problem with provider killing on MIUI and not restart, somehow related to recursive error and free memory zeroing.
