Does anyone know if the QWK Hub feature set in Mystic is complete and working?

I can't find anything in the documentation about it and haven't been able to figure out how to get it going and if can act as a FTN <-> QWK gateway.

I have not used this but I think it's working OK... as I have seen it used in the past. Want to experiment with me?

We can try, but after speaking with someone who is really close to James last nighty, the HUB feature is incomplete, the node part of it works perfectly,
but not acting as a HUB. This is why it isn't mentioned in any of the changelogs or docs.

Mystic works great as a QWK node, but isn't able to perform as a QWK hub. I tried everything I could think of to get it to work. Even g00r00 stated there was some work that needed to be done in that area... :(

Pity. Looks like Synchronet (which is what I use for this job) is the system of choice for a QWK hub.

That's what I'm using here to gate between FTN and QWK. Right now, I've got three networks available...

OK thanks Frank... and based on the other group feedback posted here I'd
agree it's probably not worth testing further at this stage.

I think I've gated one that you already were gating though. I've got fsxNet, Retronet and now scinet available via QWK.

Yeah, I've been the "official" QWK hub for RetroNet for some time. I also gate VKRadio. I didn't gate FSXnet, because I never got round to sorting it with Paul, and then you beat me to it. :)

Hehehehe. I set up Retronet to test out how I could keep the net's separate from the node's perspective. Once it was set up, I just left it. I figure if someone does need to connect to Retronet, and they already connect here for another net, they can have it... :)

Ahh, I see. :) Well, I could do the same for FSXnet, if Paul was OK with that. :)
