6.2.35 PrivateNet

Syntax:

PrivateNet fakenet-number

Example:

PrivateNet 12345

Modern mailers, message reader/editors (including MsgEd TE), and mail processing programs are fully 4D address aware and do not require the PrivateNet keyword. However, if you are operating a point system whose boss node uses a "fakenet" to service points, this keyword should be used.

The fakenet-number parameter specifies the private net number number to use for non-4D points. The fakenet point scheme was designed to work with systems which were unable to support true points, such as BinkleyTerm 2.40 and lower. The actual "fakenet" number and address must be assigned to you by your boss node.
