   Dear Sergey,   
      
   12 Sep 15 13:17, you wrote to me:

    SP> Can you show the hpt error message from the log, please.   
      
   There is no hpt error message. It just says in the log '0 netmail messages'.   
      
   Thanks to Michael Dukelsky 2:5020/1042, he has already identified the problem.   
   The pkt file contains a packet password which is too long: 11 characters,   
   which causes the whole packet to be garbled and ignored.   
      
   Hotdoged should not have allowed a packet password longer than 8 characters.   
   When I removed the excess characters from the password in a hex editor   
   (allowing all the remaining bytes to shift), the packet became normal and   
   recognizable by the tosser.   
      
   This is probably a bug in Hotdoged.
