    Yep, that's the way I do it. :)

    First you need to setup your QWK hub in mystics QWK networking setup. I have Vert setup like this.

    Network Name: DOVE-Net
    Member Type: Node
    FTP Host: dove.synchro.net
    Login: <your QWK account>
    Password: <your QWK password>
    Use Passive: Yes
    Packet ID: VERT
    Archive Type: Zip
    Use QWKE: Yes

    Then I setup the message areas in their own group in the Message Base Editor. You need to be carefull that these message areas are connected to the correct areas from vert. QWK Network needs to be connected to the hub created above
    and the QWK Base ID needs to match what is listed in DOVE-Net.txt that you
    can download from Vertrauen. I have all these areas setup as echomail areas
    and the Net Address are all set to 0:0/0 Local, and export to has 0 nodes.

    On Vertrauen my QWK account is setup like this..

    CTRL Color Codes: Expand to ANSI
    Archive Type: Zip
    Extended QWKE Packet Format: Yes

    All of the other options are set to No since I don't know if mystic supports
    or needs any of the other options. Be sure you are only exporting DOVE-Net areas from Vertrauen.. :)

    Once this is all configured you can run qwkpoll 1 (if Vertrauen in node #1)
    and it will pack and send msgs to / and get new msgs from DOVE-Net.

    I have an interval event that grabs QWK packets for DOVE-Net as well as Developernet and Musicalnet every few hours.

    I think that's all there is to it.. If I left anything out, just ask.. :)

    Nice overview Al. I might QWK network DOVE-Net between my two BBSs, just for the exercise. As my main BBS runs Synchronet, and the second system runs Mystic, setup should be identical, except for the QWK ID I'm using. :)



    ... Always make sure you understand completely what you're jumping into.

    Mystic -cfg

    Configuration >> QWK Networking
    /I to insert a new connection

    Select the new entry:
    Network Name: DoveNet
    Member Type : Node
    FTP Host : cvs.synchro.net
    Login : Use your QWK login on Vert
    Password : <password>
    Use Passive : Yes
    Packet ID : vert
    Archive Type: I use Zip
    Use QWKE : Yes

    If you use QWKE on Mystic, you must also use QWKE on Vert.

    Go to each of your dovenet qwk conferences in Editors >> Message Base Editor

    QWK Network : Select the newly created qwknet entry for DoveNet
    QWK Base ID : Enter the conference number for the individual conferences.


    Run QWKPOLL to exchange mail.

    NOTE: you can also setup an NNTP sync... that may be an easier route.
