   TG> Hi Gary,   
      
   TG> I've been using amibinkd now since probably May or so.  It is working   
   TG> pretty   
   TG> well for me.  I connect with all of the following networks:  FidoNet,   
   TG> C=Net,   
   TG> RetroNet, PiNet, fsxNet, MicroNet and The Quantum Wormhole Net.  I am able   
   TG> to   
   TG> poll them with no problems and also receive mail from them with no   
   TG> problems.    
   TG> Are you running it in Server mode when you start your bbs?  I think it is   
   TG> just   
   TG> amibinkd -s to start it in server mode.  Will have to look at my config   
   TG> files.    
   TG>  If you'd like sometime I can take a look at your config file to see if I   
   TG> can   
   TG> help.  I am using the standart binkd ports.   
      
   TG> I am running Zeus 1.7 now at my BBS.. (See tag below).  I started back up   
   TG> with   
   TG> Excelsior! and it would receive mail OK but could never make it pick up   
   TG> the   
   TG> outgoing messages.  I think it is due to a Y2K bug in the code because the   
   TG> dates on the outgoing messages were screwed up so I switched over to Zeus.   
      
   TG> If I can be of any help you can message me here or at my BBS or via Email:   
   TG> timgrooms@gmail.com   
      
   TG> Tim   
      
              
           Hmmmm... I guess I may have started it wrong.  I placed AmiTask in the   
   WBStartup and could not figure out how to use the AmiPrefs to get things   
   started.  Right now I got a working Mystic server running on the Windows side   
   that is working with CNet.  But to stop using windows as much as I can would be   
    awesome.  Here is my config...

   # Define a link:   
   #       node [[z:]n/]n[.p][@domain] [-nr] [{hosts|-} [{pwd|-} [flavour   
   [{obox|-} [{ibox|-}]]]]]   
   #   
   # * All non-"-" fields will redefine values specified for the same node    
   #  earlier in config.    
   # * Flavour is one of i, c, d, -, h; and is the flavour for the outbound   
   #  filebox ("obox").    
   # * Binkd sends from obox all non-dir entries NOT matching ".*" wildcard.   
   #  EVERY TIME YOU PUT A FILE INTO OBOX CHECK IF BINKD WILL BE ABLE TO   
   #  UNLINK IT. Otherwise, the session will never end.   
   # * Default for ibox is inbound or inbound-nosecure depending on the pwd field.   
       
   # * Default for port is oport.   
   # * `-nr' stands for `Not Reliable Link', this works only on outbound calls    
   #  with another binkp/1.1 mailer. The option solves the only problem with   
   #  binkd having no enough time to start receiving of a file from    
   #  non-zero offset before IP link's down, so don't use it unless you    
   #  have this problem -- really not effective   
   # * Hosts is a list in form   
   #       host1[:port1][;host2[:port2]] ...   
   # * Asterisk (`*') in the host list forces Binkd to perform   
   #       1:2/3.4 --> p4.f3.n2.z1.fidonet.net translation for a node's   
   #       Fido-address and lookup IP for the resulting FQDN in DNS.   
   #       Root domain part ("fidonet.net") can be changed with root-domain
