Ax25 forwarding works indirectly to the end user and that is a big
disadvantage compared to smtp<br>
what is more direct.<br>
At least with smtp I know right away or the far end server is there
or not and that makes it much more reliable.<br>
(From the standpoint of sending smtp server or BBS)<br>
<br>
If an intermediate ax25 forwarder somewhere in the cloud has the
wrong settings you are toasted and it might take <br>
a while before you know!<br>
So it depends much more on the human factor.<br>
You compensate by having multiple forwarding partners (sadly
nowadays mostly over Internet)<br>

It's a start, more to do, sorry for the 'note style'
documentation, <br>
which is typical of a person who has very little time. Please have
fun <br>
with it, and please do report any issues, or dislikes, or
whatever. stochastic <br>

While we're at it, I'd like to bring up the topic of coordination
<br>
of hierarchical addressing. I think this stuff is really cool (it
<br>
only took me 5+ years to notice it and try it out for a change), <br>
<br>
BUT it is very dependent on people having *correct* entries in <br>
their 'rewrite' file to send these HADDR'd destinations to where <br>
they need to go. I mean, think about it, it just takes one system
<br>
to be improperly configured (or not configured at all) for major <br>
loss of messages, so I'm thinking the ones that are serious about
<br>
this type of routing probably coordinate and talk to each other on
<br>
a regular basis, to make sure messages get to where they need to <br>
go. Or do they ? I'm sure this can get interesting. Comments ? <br>
