Hello There,   
      
   In recent days I have had a situation that I am not sure YET just what the   
   cause was. Some days ago I noticed that BBBS stopped calling out via BinkD for   
   mail. All outbound connection attempts were "No Carrier" with the log showing:   
      
   181014 01:04 Calling Prizm, filegate.net:24555   
   181014 01:04 NO CARRIER   
   181014 01:05 Calling Prizm, filegate.net:24555   
   181014 01:05 NO CARRIER   
   181014 01:07 Calling Prizm, filegate.net:24555   
   181014 01:07 NO CARRIER   
      
   Upon further inspection I noticed that NO outbound connections were possible.   
   meaning that I couldn't surf the web, check email, Etc. on the BBBS PC.   
      
   BUT, I could connect to BBBS via an inbound connection from other PC's as well   
   as my cell phone. The PC in question currently runs Ubuntu 16.10. In testing I   
   did change network cables, changed the NIC being used the problem PC as well   
   changing the IP that the PC used. None of the things I tried allowed an   
   outbound connection.   
      
   Finally, I decided to move BBBS completely over to a different PC the alternate   
    PC currently runs Linux Mint 19.0. Once BBBS was moved and loaded to the new   
   PC I was able to connect to Janis and Nick just fine.   
      
   Anyone have any thoughts or ideas. I am the type that doesn't like unanswered   
   questions and am planning to continue to find out the actual cause of the   
   problem.
