    Hey Ben,

    Looking for some help with setting up and getting a node number.
    I've registered on clrghouz + configured the bbs (as far as I can tell) correctly.

    I've assignd you an FSXnet node, so when you log back into the website you should have everything you need on your Home Screen.

    Configure your authentication details for your BBS, and then you should be able to subscribe to echo/file areas via the website or using areafix. (With areafix you can do rescans as well.)

    To use areafix, sending a message to areafix@<the hub address>, (or filefix for files), with your *fix password on the subject line, and '%HELP' in the body. You'll get a reply with commands and instructions.

    You can send a netmail addressed to ping@<the hub address>, to test that your netmail is working - you'll get an automatic reply immediately.

    You can also send test messages in some echoareas. For FSXnet, the test area is FSX_TST, and if you send a message addressed to 'All, with a subject of 'Test', and anything in the body, the bot will automatically reply to your message.

    If you get stuck, yell out with some details and I'll see what's going on. (I'm constantly updating the site, so it's possible I havent found all the bugs yet.)
