   It's almost always a password problem when this happens.  You'll have to    
   carefully check if they match on both ends.  Packet and session passwords.     
   There are also passwords for Areafix and Tic files, although those    
   wouldn't prevent connection for mail.  In the nodelist it shows that you    
   use a non-standard port (24555) for your BinkP, and that he uses the    
   standard port (24554).  Are the node definitions on each end saying that?   
      
    Za>  I see where files are sent in that Mytic message box  Which log

   You're the NC for Net 124.  You don't routinely monitor logs for activity    
   and/or problems/issues?  I find that almost impossible to believe.  I don't   
   know where logs are kept on a Mystic system, but it should be easy to find.   
      
    Za> I assume he has setup his ini files to import echo and files but   
    Za> only he knows   
      
   When troubleshooting, assumptions are a bad idea.   
      
      
   ... All the easy problems have been solved.
