   That was my issue with Robert Starr. We'd connect with session pw... but   
   sbbsecho was saying the pkt's were bad due to a missing pkt password. I never   
   had one for Robert although he swears we did. I wasn't going to argue over it   
   so I just added the one he was sending over to my sbbsecho.ini.   
      
   Here are my logs...   
      
   2016-04-12 22:18:57 Importing (secure) 12192104.pkt (Type 2+) from 316:77/1   
   2016-04-12 22:18:57 Imported: 1 msgs 3whispern <- WHISPERNET_ADMIN   
   2016-04-12 22:18:57 Imported: 1 msgs total in 0.0 sec (3157.9/min 52.6/sec)   
      
   Now the following day...   
      
   2016-04-13 01:46:53 Packet c:\fd\secure\12224859.pkt from 316:77/1 - Incorrect   
   password ('??????' instead of '')   
   2016-04-13 01:46:53 Bad packet detected: c:\fd\secure\12224859.pkt   
      
      
   That's a difference of 4 hours and I'll bet between those times is when Robert   
   updated to v3.   
      
   This went on till I noticed the bad pkts in my inbound. Once I added the PKT   
   pw, I renamed all the BAD pkts and sbbsecho imported them. Took me a week to   
   find it.. lol...

   I also noticed a "Comment" was added in the form of the AREAFIX password we   
   used.   
      
   Just some thoughts...
