You cannot solve either of these errors.               CP> The third is for another network, and consistently gives a not        CP> authorized error, even though my host an I have verified all the        CP> information is correct.              Hotdoged requires an MD5 handshake. If your host has an option for MD5 (like       Mystic) ask your host to turn it on for your point.               CP> I used the same data with Aftershock on the last 2 as well.

If your BOSS doesn't support it you       won't be able to use Hotdoged with that BOSS.              I asked the BBBS author to include support for MD5 and he was agreeable but so       far it hasn't happened. What the future holds I'm not sure.               Ttyl :-),        Al              --- GoldED+/LNX        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 221/1 226/30 227/114 702 229/424       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 664 1014 230/0 240/77 1120 1634 5138 5832 5853       SEEN-BY: 240/8001 8002 8005 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/5003 310/31       SEEN-BY: 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200 633/280 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 2454/119 2490/3045 5020/1042       PATH: 153/757 770/1 712/848 261/38 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
