Hello Larry,

could you please clarify the settings for me; I think I suffer from
naming confusion...

The old setting "RestrictToLan", when set, marked all Logsync traffic
generated by that host to be LAN-Only. Therefore it had to be set on all
the stations, except the one that was to logsync also over the tunnels
(if you were so adventurous).

What does the Bridgehead setting do and how it is to be set ?
Bridgehead is the one host to communicate, so am i right in
assuming that all stations need this to be set to 0 (or not present)
except the one station that is the bridgehead, ie also talks with the tunnels,
to 1 ?

Some tests here were somewhat inconclusive, but that could be due to
other factors...

73s,

Mario
