    As it is right now, SBBSecho won't export from subs that are configured for another network type (e.g. QWK, USENET), regardless of the node number being exported to, if the sub-board isn't configured to allow gating between net-types. For points, there should be an exception.

    So if I'm reading this correctly. If I have a sub-board on my bbs,I should be able to receive/send to it via a point, correct?

    Correct, but (for now at least), you have to set the "gate between net types" option to Yes for those sub-boards that are gating to another network technology (e.g. QWK or USENET).
