081293 ITCnet Route Map This is the proper routing setup for ITCnet. It is not cast in stone! But should be adheared to as closely as possible. And as all policies are... this is also subject to change as the need arises. International Coordinator IC 85:85/0 | Western Zone Coordinator | Eastern Zone Coordinator WZC | EZC 85:85/1 <---------------------> 85:85/2 / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ NWREC SWREC SCREC NCREC NEREC SEREC 85:10/0 85:20/0 85:40/0 85:30/0 85:60/0 85:80/0 No.Calif So.Calif Texas Illionis Maine Georgia Oregon Nevada Missouri Indiana Vermont Florida Washington Hawaii Arkansas Ohio New Hampshire Alabama Idaho Arizona Mississippi Michigan Massachusetts Tennessee Montana Colorado Kansas Iowa Rhode Island S.Carolina Wyoming New Mexico Oklahoma Nebraska New York N.Carolina Alaska Mexico Louisiana Wisconsin Connectticut Virginia Canada West S.America New Mexico Minnesota Pennsylvania Kentucky Utah Ctl.America N.Dakota New Jersey Maryland S.Dakota Canada East W.Virginia As far as the Areas.bbs file (or *.ctl file) that you use to do the mail with I would suggest that you print out the nodelist and use it as a guide to find the nodes that fall under your state or hubs. And remeber the place that you receive your mail from is always the very first node number in the areas.bbs file. If you use Qmail or Tosscan see your particular documentation. If you have any improvements or ideas please submit via netmail to 85:85/1 Thank you, Jack Reece PS...A numberical break down would be like this......in reverse order from node level up to Zone Echo Coordinator. 85:805/286 will poll--->85:805/200 in turn will poll--->85:805/1 and the will poll 85:10/0 (REC=Regional Echo Coordinator) 85:805/286--->85:805/200--->85:805/1--->85:10/0---->\ (Node) -----> (Hub) ------> (Host) ---> (REC) \|/ \|/ 85:805/286<--- 85:805/200<--- 85:805/1<--- 85:10/0<-/ For some of you that really don't understand...its like going up to the top of a hill....then you must go back down the hill......... Routing: All Routing is to be done through your Local Host/Hub, this includes all Echos/Netmail. File Requests should be sent directly. This will aid in cutting down traffic in both local and LD mail. Hubs, if you are having a problem with this, please let me know, and I'll aid you in setting this up. Also, all systems MUST scan your Mail Host/Hub as 85:xxx/x, at least 3 times/week. Where 85:xxx/x the xxx/x stands for your Host/Hub that you receive your mail. for example 85:865/0 is a Host. 85:865/1 is a Hub. 85:865/101 is not, it is a normal hub and should not be feeding anyone. Even though both numbers 865/1 and 865/101 could be the same system. Only 865/1 is a echo/mail hub number. See example in the Routpoll.map file. So you can look up the proper number in the enclosed nodelist. called called ITCLIST.xxx (xxx being the version number) This is extremely important..if you use the wrong number in the Areas.bbs or Ctl file or as an aka it will create netmail on the other persons system. Or lots of BAD_MSGS...Be careful of the numbers you use... See the actual nodelist below for Host/Hub to Poll from. Thanks! ITCnet currently based upon two Major Zones/Regions East and West. Listed below are the Major Zones/Regions Pacific Time Zone = 85:85/1 (The ITCnet BBS) Eastern Time Zone = This is turn is broken down into the following Regional Coordinators Northwestern Regional Coordinator = 85:10/0 Raymond Quinn Southwestern Regional Coordinator = 85:20/0 Mike Downey Northcentral Regional Coordinator = 85:30/0 Eric Kimminau Southcentral Regional Coordinator = 85:40/0 Jack Schofield Northeastern Regional Coordinator = 85:60/0 Brad Straub Southeastern Regional Coordinator = 85:80/0 Toby Wellborn Canadian Regional Coordinator = 85:90/0 Brent Smith NorthEuropeon Regional Coordinator = 85:100/0 Felipe Sevenson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is then broken down into State Hosts and Hubs All Echo mail should be picked up through your respective echo Host/Hub.
