Thanks for the response Grease.
In my case I don't understand the hold up, specifically after reading policy4 do
c, and the regqion 17 guide.
I'll try again, i probably didn't do something correctly.
While writing this message I went back and read policy4 again, and I realize I d
idn't follow the to the letter how to request a node.

The message you send must include at least the following information:
1) Your name.
2) Your voice telephone number
3) The name of your system.
4) The city and state where your system is located.
5) The phone number to be used when calling your system.
6) Your hours of operation, netmail and BBS.
7) The maximum baud rate you can support.
8) The type of mailer software and modem you are using.

Thanks for all who have been discussing this. For a new operator like me these m
essages help.
