   Hiya Dallas..

    DH> EVENT A   
    DH> Unhold 1:153/7041   
      
    BM> You really don't need the above hold/unhold as it will stay in your

    BM> Again, if you want to keep the node from retrieving their own mail

    DH> If I don't have the hold and unhold lines, then do I even need to

   Leave it in then... either way.. :)

    DH> Yes, that's the plan - I've one node who doesn't want me to hit him

   That's strange... I can see if it was a POTS connection but binkd? OK.. :)   
      
   I just so happened to read Joe's reply to you regarding transfer protocol and   
   he maybe onto something.  IRex reports 1.1 but only connects at 1.0.  Check to   
   see if your links are trying to connect with 1.1 in your logs.     
      
   Be well...
