   Where do you see the problems, where do you get errors? With binkd or hpt?   
      
   It shouldn't be a problem to use different mail / packet passwords (the   
   passwords you configure in your tosser / hpt config). The binkp protocol does   
   not support negotiating multiple passwords for multiple AKAs within one   
   session / poll, which can cause "weird "problems"".   
      
   Some nodes use hide-aka lines in binkd.cfg to only present one specific AKA   
   per poll. E.g.:   
      
   hide-aka 5:123/456@fidonet !*@fidonet   
   hide-aka 400:1/2@othernet !*@othernet   
      
   One AKA, one password per session -> no problems. Different passwords could   
   work in this case. But I think it's better to just use the same password.   
   Multiple passwords don't make it more secure.
