Oh my - it seems I did not pay enough attention to detail Maiko.

OK - I now understand how the remainder of the world may depend on jnos2
now to respond to others (when configured).

OK - but the WIN32 project holds more sway.

HMMM - I must have missed it?  I DID find some NRR traffic in ancient
history but nothing from recent testing.  I've been looking for "NRR"
signature internal to the packet that may be my error...  I'll figure
out the detail on this one.

OK - I now understand that initiating the NRR from jnos2 command line
will someday provide the (?both BBS? & sysop?) user with a node-by-node
route to a target station.  I note with interest the route goes out and
back that might be useful to discover non-symmetrical routes...

Because "nrr" on my system returns "null" rather than "huh?" I'm
presuming at least part of the configuration details are in place
correctly.  Ssssorry to add to your plate.  You might want to drag your
feet just a little while I compare responses from our two sites - My
site may not be totally up to date?

OK - I will stop by again and pick a few.  Xnet was not something I
looked for last time.  And last time I did not do all the alternatives.
