    From Khronos@23:250/14 to All on Monday, October 05, 2026 18:32:34
    Hi,
    What tool should be used to create and maintain a nodelist for an up and coming FTN?

    Thanks,

    I use MakeNL on my Windows machine. It uses 2 programs: one to define the nodes
    and one to create the actual nodelist.

    BinkTermPHP has a built in node list manager, you can upload the weekly
    node lists and it manages it quite well. However it is not fully
    automated "YET".

    Node list import automation is supported through file action rules. When the new lists are hatched they can be imported automatically.
