   I've seen it pass by, and there was a ping response. So test succeeded! ;)   
   Thanks!

   Yes, this one: "PID: PING_Bot 0.004 *free*" ;)   
      
   I tested a number of systems on the 18th (my date not yours ;)), before I   
   started working on my code, to see what kind of responses I would get. From   
   the 18 I send out I got 9 responses from 8 systems. But maybe some are held up   
   by the fact that Wards system has been down again. We'll see when he gets   
   online again...   
      
   I found your systems response a bit sparse compared to others, although   
   sufficient: It just quotes the Via lines, not the entire message. And it said   
   it was a TRACE response, when in fact it should have been a PING response,   
   because my message was directed at your 3:640/384 system, which was also the   
   one responding...   
      
    PQ> Ah, but maybe you don't use C?   
      
   FMail is coded in C. ;)   
      
   I suppose your protype is a standalone program? While mine is buildin into the   
   tosser/scanner. Which would make them hard to compare code wise... ;)
