    Hi Jeff,

    I have a problem when I try to crash your 1:282/1032 node.. it constantly dials, connects, hangs up and repeats :)

    I'm using the nodelisted entry for your domain: bbs2.ouijabrd.net on your 24557

    port for binkp.

    Should I be using a different port?

    Thanks,
    Janis

    Damn. /1032 is my Mystic node. That was the same behavior that my BBBS used to have when connecting to an uplink Mystic system. My Mystic /1032 connected to you momements ago for mail seemingly ok.

    I see two options. One is to have you set /1032 to Hold and I will poll you via

    a Cron job. Or, you can drop /1032 as a downlink and /1032 can poll /1031 for mail/files.

    As I recall the 261/38<->282/1032 connection was for testing purposes between BBBS and Mystic.

    So, I am thinking that dropping /1032 as a downlink would be the logical decision.

    I'm using the nodelisted entry for your domain: bbs2.ouijabrd.net on
    your 24557 port for binkp.

    Both the FQDN and port are correct as my BBBS uses them to connect to
    /1032 fine.

    I have you set for hold now 1031 and 1032 right now. Let me know if you want me to set either of those to crash and I'll give it a try. We will probably be

    gone most of the day today, we've got to take a 3 hr. drive to a hosp. in Ellenville NY to talk to Ron's Aunt who is very ill. We're trying to set up getting her here in Ithaca and it's not an easy situation. Anyway, I can test whatever this evening or earlier today before we take off.

    Just let me know of any changes I should try, and I'll try to get things going.

    Take care,
