   I'm having a problem getting a QWK packet probably 98% of the time. There were   
   reports of others having this issue as well but they upgraded to A46 which   
   claims to have resolved their problem, I don't know if they ever upgraded to   
   A47 like I have, this was posted on fsxNet. Below are from logs and other   
   output, it is also at https://pastebin.com/B3mkEELv if that is easier to read.

   I tried from the same host, using my test user account and this way worked but   
   letting the mystic even run, or even running ./qwkpoll all ends up with the   
   Unable to make data connection, leading me to believe this to be a Mystic   
   problem. From the Mystic bbs, right above to my test user below, both appear   
   successful to Synchronet.
