Hello Jim, Jim, I must say the information is good but I'm still not sure If I understand all of it. So, here's my crack at it's working. The controllers are alien to app_rpt, this I thought was real neat and did have me chuckling a bit hi hi. Controller A, B or C better know as alien interfaces that should be given a node number? If so, do I assign them just for the local system? Or is it assign by the Allstar Linking System? I will then set up a stanza in rpt.conf defining the node such as: [443] duplex=0 propagate=yes linktolink=yes inxlat=#443,#444,0123456789ABCD outxlat=*7,*0.0123456789#ABCD Would I establish another stanza and node number for controller B, and C (Alien interfaces) hi hi How would the command mode be entered or define? Is it *40 on all sysytem, I hope I'm not too far off on how this all work. But it look like I will need some help. Thanks Jim, you really did a great job on the paper. I just need more help to understand it. Thanks Will / W4WWM
