If everything is ok choose 'INSTALL', otherwise correct the entry(ies)

login as USER  !
If you got a nodelist and or a pointlist copy them to /var/spool/fnet/nodelist
and execute 'fnlc'. After these list are done, execute 'ifpoll' to do
the first poll at your boss.
If you dont have a nodelist ifcico can call your boss by giving the
telephone number. So change in the ifpoll script:
ifcico -r 1 $NODE substitute with ifcico -r 1 -n telphonenumber.
Call your boss and get a new nodelist.

Executing 'edi' mails are tossed, linked and fmbedit , the
nail-reader/editor is started.

KONFIGURATION:
--------------
A first configuration has been done by the script. If you're polling
more than one net you probably have to add some configuration by hand.

Look at ~/feddirc and ifpoll, config in /usr/local/lib/fnet


Also take a look at the textfiles in /var/spool/fnet/msgbase 
- areas
- groups
- macros
- names
- origin
- template
- template.commands
- tosspath
- utility
- utility.commands 

Man pages are installed for the following programs
- feddi
